Hi,
As I was wondering about my “optimized” setup, I now realize something that bothers me to an extent. I have set up both quick scan and full scan to populate the persistent cache.
Now, what if I download some nasty file that avast does not know about but say I do not run it (cuz I now it’s some nasty thing) I let daily scans go on and then a full scan (that is scheduled to run weekly) and suppose that they still have not released sigs for this nasty thingy I have on my drive but now the file figures as being “clean” in the avast database. During this time some other on demand scanner would find it, files gets submitted to avast and sigs are updated.
Will the nasty thingy be recognized by avast now ?
PS: All this is hypothetical…
