Scanning

Can someone tell me if we can scan without the internet?

Hello again, I hope the poll thing above does not confuse anyone. But when I was entering my question it said I had to enter something.

Sorry I will get the hang of this , if someone could help with this please. I am not taking a poll.

Hehe you’ll learn all forum commands over time :slight_smile: Dont worry :slight_smile:
Of course you can scan offline. avast! is a full featured antivirus program that is based locally (not as on-line scanners like HouseCall). It has Resident On-Access module which keeps your accessed and modified files safe. It also has a Instant messaging,mail protection and on-demand scanner which is initiated by you to scan full disk,single folder or even single file.

i’m really confused at first… ;D

don’t worry about it caddiva…welcome to avast :slight_smile:

Thanks shgoh & RejZoR!

I appreciate the response and welcome! I hope to talk to you later. I will be on from time to time.

I am using spybot Search and destroy with the Avast and they are working great as of now.

I did get a chance to see the scan by files. I do have a quick question… Why , after I scan the log file pops up with what it finds… I am supposed to click on the file then hit the top button. Nothing happened . Now I have a log file with all those files contained, I run another scan and then it shows nothing (which is great) but my viewer is showing that I have not scanned my system and I did… What is that about?

Ciao 4 Now! Caddiva
