;p good for u. its a monthly thingy here :slight_smile:

informative for ppl who bother to look.

somehow i hope that none of the average users would call this intrusive pop-up…but i know it will never happen :cry:

there are many paranoid ppl out there.

I get that too. It really comes down to whether this feature is wanted (nice!) or is an intrusion (hate!) in one’s computing experience. It really does not tell an average user anything that one might not know already: Not infected! :wink:

It has the option not to display it in the future on the Stats screen.

You can also change the setting in the avastUI, Settings, Popups, Security Reports.
