User Guide Mac version

Avast Mac Security
1

I just purchased the Mac version of Antivirus program
Is there a user guide for the Mac version. I have a couple of questions that I can not seem to find info in the help.

  1. Dock Icon has a bar with a number 58 in it. Any ideas as to what this means.
  2. Background scan button on application window, does nothing when clicking. What does this click do?

Any help is appreciated

Hallo,
depends on the color of the number.
white = files scanned so far
yellow = warnings found so far (if any)
red = infection found so far (if any)

all is related to the latest on-demand scan. note that warnings usually are about accessibility/permissions/strange compression ratios and have NOTHING to do with infection or even infection suspiction.

regards,

Thank you for the reply and I also wondering what the background scan button does? A scan of memory?

Thanks again for the info

Hallo,
it just lowers the scan priority. Might be handy when your video player isn’t playing smoothly because some scan is performed etc.
