Hi, I’d like to know for what AvastSvc.exe is, what does it exactly do?!
Manages and implements Avast antivirus on your computer.
why it needs to connect internet?
So it recive updates …
It also controls the avast shields (it is the main avast process), for instance the web shield and email shield, both of which have an on-line protection task to fulfil and run under avastSvc.exe (Avast Service).
do you mean virus definition updates or anything else?
if I don’t use web shield and email shield does it still need internet connection?
Is i t ok if I allow avastsvc.exe, instup.exe, aswidsagenta.exe, AvEmUpdate.exe and overseer.exe outgoing only connection? or any of these also needs to have incoming??
If you don’t trust your AV to do it’s job, why install it ???
It’s not about trust, I have habit on my work computer to restrict applications internet connections and reduce traffic as much as possible.
If you want the protection, it needs internet access.
