The only mentions of rootkit I can find in the Help instructions makes no mention of user options, except that a rootkit scan during bootup can be turned on/off with the checkbox in Exceptions.
Is that the only available rootkit settings option in free Avast antivirus?
Is that the only time when a rootkit scan is done (when computer is rebooted)?
If the latter is true, this latest false positive (subject of this thread) could be avoided by temporarily disabling the boot-time rootkit scan - til this bug is fixed in a future avast update. Is my logic OK?
Thanks.
