Anti rootkit in Avast 4.8

One of the new improvements in 4.8 is the rootkit-scanner. I dont find it in the menu’s. Does it scan automatically for rootkits ?

It does a quick scan on boot, also I believe on the scheduled Boot-Time scan and I believe during on-demand scans (could be wrong about the latter).

It isn’t user selectable to run an anti-rootkit scan unless you are using the pro version. There is however a stand alone version which has been beta tested and should be released in a few weeks.

You’re not wrong.
Quick on-access while booting.
Deep on-demand and at boot time.

Thanks all for your answers…

No problem, glad we could help.
