Thanks.
One other thought that I had is that the new installation hasn’t yet been through the (lengthly) process of doing Windows updates. From reading another thread here from 2009 it could be Windows own updates that have definitions that Avast in Windows knows to ignore? Presumably I’ll find out once I’ve run all the Windows updates (and I’ll make sure I don’t browse the internet until it’s been checked).
I’m fairly new to using Antivirus software on the Mac (and very little experience of it on Windows too) - if I’m starting to use antivirus on the Mac, and Avast (or in the case of Windows on my wife’s Mac, McAfee) is running within those virtual machines, would you recommend I just exclude those virtual machines from any scans and live monitoring permanently?
