avast, why is scheduled scan Skipped?

even after update NGservice & virtualbox interface did not reappear in Taskmanager

OK i was thinking that they don’t work cause of a bug or win glitch, that win update messed something up, so NG is controlled from outside my PC by 3th party (Avast team)? like there is NG server & if that is shut down then NG in PC shuts down to?

same issue with virtualbox interface for all?

What outside team ??? NG is part of Avast. ???

i know, i just used wrong word :smiley:

i have a question about avast secureline vpn, my Wi-Fi is disabled cause i have cable connection, so i don’t need it? or do i? i don’t know much about it

i have free version, but this picture shows SUB version, & i did not get what u meant

is it even necessary? it is anti-tracking, i have Ghostery add for anti-tracking, should i turn it off?, all items under tools are turned on

my Avast does not look like on the picture

Avast SecureLine is not a free product…

but i have free version & under setting tools it is turned on

Are you sure you have the free version and not a trial version?
Look at the top of the “overview” screen. It should look like this.

In the free version, this is what Tools looks like:

Under Tools, when you click on Secure line, what do you get ???

new window, there is connect button, so its Disconnected, so it means it is really turned off?

random picture from web, it kind of like this, but the TXT below is different, only the upper part is same with the red dot & connect button

It doesn’t turn on till you ask it to turn on. In the free version, you have a three day trial.
After that trial, you’ll need to pay for the service if you want to continue to use it. :slight_smile:
Even after you pay for it, it only runs when you start it. I only start it when I’m away from home and on
public (open) wifi.
Check your settings there are some options that make using it on the road easier.

well i use free ware, when it comes to programs, but when its turned on under setting=tools, does it matter, does it take ram when its Disconnected under tools?
i mean does it matter that it is turned on or off under settings=tools?
i don’t have laptop, Alienware x51 R2, so its always at home, i was just curious about secureline

It isn’t on by default. If you don’t want it at all, simply remove it by making a change in the avast installation.

i can also simply turn it of from here?

the other things on the list are active in free version?
as the things currently are does it use ram, or it won’t until i connect it from tools?

They are tools. They aren’t resident and will only resources when you use the selected tool.
