I will correct you lee16…
#1, Since I DO NOT USE my outlook express,(ie SMPT,POP) server for my email, WILL AVAST still ck & scan,protect my yahoo/hotmail emails from virus??
avast! in fact DOES scan your webmail based mail. Its scanned by Standard Shield when you view mails in your browser.
2, I 'notice when i open or download a prigram, the little blue globe,(down by clock) starts rotating,what is this doing when it starts running??
Yes,when the ball is rotating,avast! is scanning files/mails.
This way you always know you are protected.
3, DOES AVAST automaticall have a boot up scan, I do not see anything when rebooting that shows me the virus scan is scanning at bootup...
thank u for the help & take care ok,"AA"
You probably mean the boot-scan introduced on Win9x platforms (like Nortons boot scan). No,avast! doesn’t offer such scan capability.
Its actually not necessary. But it can perform full system scan at boot-time on Windows 2000/XP based systems. It basically scans the disk the same way as On-Demand,but with certain limitations (cannot check compressed archives) and benefits (no influence by resident viruses).
You need to manually schedule this via dropdown menu in Simple Interface.
