ATT UVERSE MCAFEE ANTIVIRUS FREE DOWNLOAD UPDATE

It takes more processes to do this, and typically costs you money to offer this level of protection. Your pop-up originally was referring to the fact any free AV will not offer real-time protection. Standby puts the disk or solid state drive to power save mode (not used). No, the scan can not run in standby mode. Also after about 4-5 years of having this and tons of updates is it better to delete it and download the latest version? Maybe it doesn’t matter? I’d still like to know if a long scan will continue when your computer goes into standby mode.

Update - I went to the Avast forums and someone there directed me to something that showed my exact pop up. In order to do their real-time scans and so forth, antivirus programs have to get their hooks fairly deep into the operating system and in the past I've had many unpleasant experiences with real-time protection features breaking on OS updates, or seriously slowing down the system, or insistently demanding that I buy a paid upgrade and refusing to uninstall cleanly.ġ2 hours! Does the scan continue while you are off the computer and it is “sleeping “ or in standby?Īlso what do you think of my previous post where I describe the pop up when I open Avast. I wouldn't buy the paid version of either, not because I'm a cheapskate, but because I believe the extra paid features are basically misfeatures.

I also do a single-file scan of any software I download from any place other than the Apple App Store. (I remove them so that I won't somehow accidentally open them or forward them). I've never found any active viruses but I often find viruses within my email, in attachments to spam mail Avast finds them, Malwarebytes does not. A complete scan, including external drives, with Avast takes about twelve hours or so.

I run Malwarebytes much more often because the scan is much faster.

I have both Malwarebytes and Avast, in both cases the free version.
