For years, I’ve only run the “normal” scan on all of my PCs. Since I have good computing habits, Avast never shows evidence of any malware.
Recently, I ran a boot scan on my laptops. I was shocked when both reported malware.
One PC had a Java exploit.
The other PC had a Trojan!
How long have these items been lurking on my machines?
WHY WHY WHY!!! would the normal scans NOT detect these items?
How many millions of people use Avast like me and NEVER do boot scans?
What a serious cluster F.uck!
