With family protection mode enabled at home noone can even access porno-sites. To clarify things further, lets say I am using my home router in conservative protection mode with enabled Yandex DNS checks, which also provides a layer of protection against malware and suspicious websites.
#HOW TO DISABLE AVAST BROWSER EXTENSIONS FREE#
If not, feel free to ask more specific questions and I (or someone else) will try to answer them. (trojans, browser hijackers and such).Ī much better name would be "anti-malware".īut as people are used to "anti-virus" changing the naming can (and very likely will be) confusing a lot of people so they just keep naming it "anti-virus".Ī nowadays "anti-virus" appears to people to be as one tool.īut if you look more closer (how it is working) you could say they consist of many tools bundled in one application.
Nowadays the "anti-virus" applications detect and protect systems against a lot more. The name has it origin in the old days (30+ years ago) when the only threat where viruses. What people nowadays are calling anti-virus is basically a huge misnomer. That means if a "av" wants to detect/block as much as possible it also needs to use many different detection methods. Nowadays there are many more threats using all kinds of different methods. In the "old days" the only threat where viruses.
If it would do that, you could say it is too busy with checking for updates (and if there is any downloading/installing it) that it doesn't have the time to scan things. the vps database), it would need to check every second to see if there is a update. If the av (the basic part of it) itself would use the latest info (e.g. The rest of avast is checking files and data traffic. The browser extension checks things (especially urls/domains) in real time with the database(s) that avast has and the rest of avast is not. So this is not entirely accurate but it will give at least a idea (I hope) on the difference(s) I don't know what you do (or don't know) about security and how security applications (and other things are working), so I will keep it really simple.
