1. Confirmed with the Mail Shield segment in the protection wheel.
Though as I have only had spam today and MailWasher Pro deletes that at server level so it never gets through mine is 0/0 so I don't know if that would have any impact; probably not as my script shield is also 0/0 and if I start on that it shows all fileds.
2. Silent Gaming mode - I closed the avastUI started silent gaming mode from the tray icon, opened the UI, and it shows it is On. Confirmed, Closing the UI and Opening the UI again and it is off.
3. Silent gaming mode selected from settings > silent/gaming mode, no problem avast tray icon remains in place.
