Hello!
I have Avast Free installed, I do not know exactly which version is, but as you know the Avast 6, has had many updates, so it must be 6.1.2., or so.
Yesterday, I launched a slow or complete scan, and it lasted too much. It was a long time since I launched the scanning of the computer. While it was scanning, several data showed up, among them: Processed file, Amount of data tested, Tested files/folders, Speed and so on. In the notification area of my pc, several icons appeared. One of them has the image of a computer, it is supposed to be my computer. When I lay the mouse on it, you can read: (Signal strength, and then you can read 18Mbps, 24Mbps, 36Mbps or 54 Mbps). Sometimes, this icon enlightens, and it is supposed that then there is more signal strength than ever. Well, then I have the Screen protector too, that comes up after 20 mins. of inactivity. But my question is: How can one get bigger the speed of antivirus while scanning? I suppose that the higher the speed, the faster scanning will be and then, the scan will end sooner.
