Hello everyone,
In an earlier post, I inquired whether I should turn off Avast's
"residen protection" as it was scanning my internet mails. I was advised
to turn it off. I did. But now Security Center was warning that Malware
Protection was turned off, and it listed Avast as being turned off. So,
I turned it back on.
My question is : I thought I was just turning off part of the Avast's
protection. No ?
