I have AIS, and as a noob among noobs I would like to know how to use the new scan from safe mode. No matter of urgency, just for future reference.
What is your Operating system and is it a 64bit version ?
The reason I ask is that avast has a boot-time scan function that works with winXP, Vista, win7 32bit versions and this is better than a safe mode scan.
Why do you need to do a safe ode scan ?
Win764, so no bootscan for me. I don’t need to safe scan, I just want to know in case it is needed.
Assuming you know how to boot into safe mode(if not, you do so by tapping the f8 key as soon as the computer starts), Simply open the Avast interface once you’re in safe mode and choose which scan you want to perform(Quick, Full, etc)
Riiiight …I knew how, but was gun-shy of safe mode, thinking some how it would be more complex than having the interface waiting for me…anyhow, thanks
