How does Avast Antivirus works?
How does Avast Antivirus works?
- Smart Scan: a comprehensive scan that detects malware, out-of-date software, browser add-ons with poor reputations, network threats, performance issues, and passwords that are weak, duplicated, or compromised.
- Full Virus Scan: a predefined, in-depth scan of your system that checks your storage drives and memory for malware (including rootkits).
- Targeted Scan: scans the folders you select when you initiate the scan.
- Boot-Time Scan: scans your PC during the next system startup before any malware is launched. Scanning during startup improves the chances of detecting and removing malware before it can counteract.
- Custom scans: scans your PC according to the parameters that you specified for your scan.
Not just Avast, but all Antiviruses work in the same way
There is a file called “ virus definitions “ which all Antiviruses have. In that file there is record of all viruses that are currently available or have been made in the world till date.
When you click on SCAN button, your antivirus start matching your files with virus records in virus definitions. If it matched with any of the record then it is considered as a virus. Detected files will be shown in scan results.
The BEST.
IT have many modules such as deep screen , cyber capture , behaviour shield etc..
The behaviour shield is the best feature
I used to write malwares when I was 14 ( I'm an early coder ) and all of it was blocked by the behaviour shield upon execution
For sure it will block many of the 0 day attacks , you should try using it
