Hi - I ran a scan and have a few viruses. It asked me if I wanted to delete them and came up with a box that had “Alicia P—” on top then I could tab to password. That password is evidently not the same password as the password I use to log into to my Avast profile when I use my email address because I cannot remember it, therefor cannot delete those viruses. Would it be the same as my Apple password? Thanks!
It sounds like you have password protected the avast program settings ?
To stop people making changes to your avast settings.
If so and you try to make changes to that installation (and this may include actions after a scan) that would require you enter the avast program settings password.
You mention “Apple password” are you using the avast for Mac antivirus program ?
