Every computer user needs to protect his system with the help of reliable antivirus software and Avast Antivirus is a trusted name in this regard, as it protects all your files, network and email from malware and online threats. A component of the software, the Behavior Shield, is specifically dedicated to hunt for suspect behaviors related to malware, rootkits and system modifications. When anything out of place is detected by the shield, an action is performed by it according to the advanced settings. The feature can be disabled, and also the items which Behavior Shield looks for can be changed. For doing so, you can either
call Avast customer service phone number or try the same using the following steps:
- Start by right clicking the orange and white icon of Avast, which lies in the notification area. Then, select ‘Open Avast! User Interface’ and click ‘Real-Time Shields’ in the left pane of the progme, followed by selecting ‘Behavior Shield’.
- For disabling the Behavior Shield service, click ‘Stop’, while you can enable it by clicking ‘Start’.
- Now click ‘Expert Settings’ for changing how suspicious behaviors are monitored by the feature. Now click the ‘Main Settings’ in the left pane and check or clear the boxes placed beside ‘Monitor the System for Low-Level Rootkits’, ‘Monitor the System for Malware Like Behavior’ and ‘Monitor the System for Unauthorized Modifications’, so that you can enable or disable their monitoring. Click the drop down list of ‘Action to Take’; followed by selecting the action you want the antivirus to take when something suspicious happens. Next select ‘Auto-Decide’ to let Avast choose the best action, ‘Allow’ for normal behavior, ‘Block’ for preventing the behavior or ‘Ask’ for getting prompted to take the action.
- For adding any program which you want Avast to ignore, click ‘Trusted Processes’ in the left pane. Then click ‘Browse’ for selecting the file which you want to trust and click ‘Open’ for adding it to the list. For removing a program from the list, click its name and then click ‘Delete’. Finally, click ‘OK’ at the bottom for returning to Avast and to saving the Behavior Shield settings.
Despite following these guidelines, if you are unable to complete the task, you should call Avast antivirus customer service phone number for expert help. On the other hand, if this number is busy and you want to save time, you can connect with one of the alternate numbers listed on online directories such as Contactforhelp.
