After my changes to Windows 8.......

After the 'customizing' I've done to Windows 8 Pro, with the addition of the gadgets sidebar and gadgets, I thought I'd run another boot-time scan with Avast Antivirus, just to make sure it is still clean.....


And this is the scan report on it, indicating it's still clean, which is reassuring.

The boot-time scan, as mentioned the other day, is a one-time thing you can select on the window for choosing the type of scan, and it runs during rebooting, so that it can scan the whole computer's drives before the operating systems are reloaded, and before that reboot process completes itself. That way, it can scan directly on the hard-drive and find anything on there. As Avast says, it's one of their main and best weapons against malware - and it works!
