How does Avast work in BG

Simple question,

Does the Avast client have to be running for Avast to work? Does the avast software have to be running in order to be protected?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

  1. What do you exactly mean with “client”…??
  2. Yes.

Hi Asyn,

Thanks for replying. What I mean is:

Does the Avast software (client) need to be open to receive its protection or is it running in the background?

I can’t seem to find any documentation. Any thoughts on this is welcomed.

Thanks

not sure what you mean......but all antivirus programs with real time protections run in the background when computer starts
