Which is why I rarely if ever (I used to on beta testing and forum questions) run on-demand scans and even less so the Smart Scan.
The first image I attached in my last post:
Point 1 - 3 Primary Folder are vulnerable to advanced ransomware - well they are the windows default locations for documents, music and images I believe. Guess what I don't use the defaults and they are all EMPTY. But the Dumb Scan doesn't check or care about them being empty.
Point 2 - I had to laugh the windows 10 firewall is just fine. - but the Dumb Scan doesn't care about that.
Point 3 - Trying to flog me RealSite - I have other tools in my armoury to combat fake websites, but the Dumb Scan doesn't know about them.
I'm like you I don't use default folders, in fact, this is what makes me wondering about avast diligence and true knowledge.
I use Deepfreeze Ent. and Igloo to redirect some of the registry and folders to totally different location, some of them even outside of my system.
As you know if you delete theses folders they will rebuild themselves unless you delete the registry associated with them, so I don't even have them I haven't had them since windows 7 existence so what is avast pointing to, if that's what they after.
I'm the same way when comes to real site, there are much more diligent ways to know whether you are on genuine web or not.
Avast should stop this ongoing silly sale pitch. I think they would gain more if they asked once or even twice rather then being so forceful and as I said, in free avast..OK but paying customers, give me a brake.
