"Avast Full Scan"

[Phenoman]

Something i was wondering in Avast the "Full Scan" Option has its own settings and i noticed it scans the Rootkits (Quick Scan) and Not the RootKits (Full Scan) Here's a Pic to show you what I'm talking about and shouldn't it be a Rootkits (Full Scan) Instead?

But normal non-expert users don't know results of this scan. Cuz It's not in scan logs... you must find it in App Data...

Most of us are only concerned if something is detected.

i am guessing here....but by "this scan".... i think you mean the 8min after boot scan ?

and as Bob say, we are only conserned if something is detected.....
and there will be a avast warning POP UP if anything is found
