Turning off Active Protection Instructions

Did you know that instead of uninstalling Avast you can turn off automatic scanning and run it in standby mode?
- Scan your PC with Avast only when you really want to (instead of automatically).
- Increase your protection by having Avast as a secondary, standby security tool.
- Keep your Avast in standby mode on older PCs, so it doesn't affect everyday performance.
