Running boot-time scan while connected to the net, safe?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi.

Is it okay to run Avast boot-time scan while my pc is still connected to the net? I’m just wondering if worms or viruses can get into my pc while doing a boot-time scan since the Avast’s real-time shields and Windows firewall are not yet running during this time.

Thanks for any enlightenment.

almost noting is running at boot time…so virus cant run

why are you running a boot time scan…any problems ?

The boot-time scanner is an expert feature, and was designed to be used when there’s something bad going on on the system.
