Avast Smart Scan Vs Quick Scan Software

Avast is known for providing extra features and tools apart from the Antivirus program. Just like any other Antivirus program, Avast has also got a variety of scans like Smart Scan, Boot-time scan, and Full Scan. Looking to compare Windows Defender vs Avast and thinking which one to go for in 2019? This Windows Defender Antivirus can go through different types of scan, like full scan, quick scan. Its best quality by far is its built-in firewall that monitors your network and prevents hackers from stealing or gaining any sort of information or to get. What's the difference between the Smart and Quick scans? I had avast set to do a scheduled weekly Quick scan, set at a time and day that I know the computer will.

BTW.it is not unusual for an anti-virus or anti-malware scanner to have problems with or be suspicious of, and files because they have difficulty reading what is inside them. These kind of files often trigger alerts by security software using because they are resistant to scanning (difficult to read). This resistance may also result in some scanners to stall (hang) on these particular types of files or just ignore (skip) them. Certain files in the like the Tracking.log (created by the Distributed Link Tracking Service to store maintenance information) have also been reported as a source causing some scanners to hang.
