The screen saver scan ‘is a real scan,’ in the same way as any other on-demand scan.
- With a resident on-access antivirus like avast, the need for frequent on-demand scans is much depreciated. For the most part the on-demand scan is going to be scanning files that would be otherwise be dormant or inert. If they were active files then the on-access file system shield would be scanning them before being created, modified, opened or executed.
Having said that, I have avast set to do a scheduled weekly Quick scan, set at a time and day that I know the computer will be on but I won’t be busy.
Or follow the other suggestion of keeping the avastUI open but minimised to the taskbar and no popup. There are ways round it, choose one.
