Dear Avast Forum gurus and users,
Does anybody have suggestions, comments or thoughts about my PC security setup? (and please not just 'paranoid')
Is it wise to always select deep-scan and not just quick-scan (ie. not all files) with the following products?
I run a full boot-time scan every Wednesday and all on-demand scanners listed below are also run on the same day.
I thank you all sincerely for your time and contribution!!!!
Best wishes,
Avastfan1
