Silent mode allows users to muffle notifications, alerts and pop-up windows. This will allow users to carry out antivirus scanning and other tasks without interruption. It is especially useful for gamers who wish to concentrate on their games without being diverted by the antivirus’s notifications.
The Avast silent mode is accessible through the settings menu and it is able to be disabled or turned on as needed. When it is turned on the silent mode turns off all notifications that aren’t considered to be vital or relevant to an important security issue. This includes virus classification updates, security scan results, and other notifications that typically show up on the screen. However this mode can be used to allow certain notifications like those related to gaming or a full-screen app.
When the silent mode is turned off, all announcements, including emails that are incoming and Windows content, are updated. This may reduce the speed of your antivirus, as the antivirus software will have to do more background tasks such as scanning and updating it. This isn’t a big issue, but it could be disruptive for some users.
In addition to the silent mode, Avast also has a game that is quiet and can be turned off or enabled when needed. This feature can be accessed from the settings menu and is designed to help gamers concentrate on their games, without being distracted by Avast’s notifications, alerts, or pop-up windows. This is particularly beneficial for those who use their PCs for tasks that require a lot of resources, such as video gaming or programming.
