Disable Auto Start Scan: To prevent scanning of all startup programs, go to “Protection” > “Virus Scans” > “Settings” (gear icon) > “Scan Settings” and uncheck “Auto start programs”.Where do I find “scan settings”. I dont have that option under “settings”
First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member.
Second I’m somewhat confused (easily done), I have only been using avast antivirus for a little over 21 years and this isn’t s function I’m familiar with - where did you get this information from ?
Perhaps because you are looking in the wrong place, but the correct area, I don’t believe suits your needs/request.
Avast UI > Settings > Protection > Core Shields > Configure shield settings > File Shield > Scan Files when opening.
This however isn’t selective, its all or nothing and this could leave your system extremely vulnerable. Nor does it match your comment To prevent scanning of all startup programs.
