Forced scan

Avast keeps shoving smart scans that are extremely hard to stop, the reason i’m pissed about it is because EVERY time a smart scan runs, it does absolutely nothing and when it scans for issues, it spawns in a list of issues, and when I click “resolve” it shoves a premium subscription into my face.

Not patient, don’t want to read? Summary:
I’m mad that I get smart scans every so often without consent and the reason why is that it is annoying, blocking my screen, and every smartscan will display an advertizement for premium.

And make sure to not suggest anything useless. Examples:

”Well, you can solve that issue by pressing stop scan”
That is not going to solve anything, I need to stop the ROOT of the issue, which is the automated “smart” scan

”Go use an on demand scan”
Ummm, what? That LITERALLY does not help whatsoever. That doesn’t fix anything.

Note, please do not talk like a robot. I prefer easy to understand language, as formality can get too extreme, and I’m trying to solve a problem easily.

Set Smart Scan to run manually instead of the default recommended weekly or monthly or whatever it is.

It’s in the schedule scan options.

First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.

Absolutely, have it run Manually, as suggested, see attached image.
