New Secret Geek Section in Avast antivirus
The new Avast Geek section is not for normal users, it is designed especially for power or tech-savvy users, you can compare it to about:flags in Chrome and About:config in Firefox. Though browsers and Antivirus are different, they’re also applications on Windows after all.

Here is how you can access it.
  1. Open its user interface.
  2. Click on Menu > Settings
  3. Click on search field and type, geek:area done, you’ve entered into the “secret tech cave of advanced settings for Skilled Avast users.”
