Hello,
You can tweak Avast IS with these settings:
1.Enable PUP Detection:
A PUP (potentially unwanted program) is a program that may be unwanted, such as spyware, despite the possibility that users consented to download it. This usually includes: toolbars, browser hijackers or adware (ad-supported software)
- Open Avast, click on Settings, then on Active Protection and click on the gear next to the Files System.
- In the "Sensitivity", select "Scan for potentially unwanted software (PUPs)".
Next, you will need to do the same for the Web Shield so lets do it.
Click on
Settings, then on
Active Protection and click on the gear next to the
Web Shield. Then select
Sensitivity and check "
Scan for potentially unwanted software (PUPs)".
2. Enable
Warn when downloading files with poor reputation.
In the Web Shield field, you can enable "Warn when downloading files with poor reputation", and it does what it says.. it will warn you when you are downloading a file with a low reputation...
To enable it, click on
Settings, then on
Active Protection and click on the gear next to the
Files System. Then select
Web Shield and check
Warn when downloading files with poor reputation..
You can keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro in your real-time protection as long as it does not slow down your PC.
SuperAntiSpyware Pro and Peerblock can be removed as Avast IS and MBAM Pro already cover all the layers better than this two security products will ever do.
