Data protection is something that every computer user should not take chances with. Potential data threats through the internet or shared storage devices are the most feared by all computer users.

The most effective protection method against such threats is by use of an effective antivirus. The antivirus programs can either be purchased through the internet or from vendors. There are numerous types of antivirus programs that are available online. Most of them come with a trial version after which one is supposed to purchase the full version.

Among the many types of antivirus programs available online, Avast is the most popular yet one of the most effective in the market.

To ensure that Avast serves you effectively, it comes with a feature known as Avast CyberCapture. The feature allows your antivirus to detect and block files believed to be carrying threats.

After the judgment is made, the cybercapture then sends the files it has blocked to the Avast lab for further analysis. The analysis is carried out to determine whether the file is harmful to your computer of not.

The work of the Avast lab on receiving the blocked files from the Cybercapture is to analyze and then give a detailed report on the status of the files, security-wise.

Assuming that through the analysis, the Avast lab realizes that the files Huber a threat or threats, then files are blocked from opening as a measure to protect your computer and the data in it.

Assuming that the analysis realizes that the files are clean, they are allowed to open since there is no any harm they can course.

It is important to note that the work of the cybercapture is very instrumental since when it is active, no threat can get to your computer and so your data is entirely safe from any destruction.

What determines whether the files are safe for you to open or not is the report that comes from the Avast lab after analysis has been concluded. The report is referred to as security status.

Are There Special Configurations that can be Obtained?

The answer to the above question is yes. Avast is built with absolute user-friendly features to let you navigate and make changes where you find necessary.

As much as that is the case, be advised that ultimate protection from Avast is guaranteed with default settings only. Therefore some changes in the configurations could be a loophole to let in threats into your computer.

Arguably, there are situations whereby you could be having other protective measures beyond Avast. Well, if that is the case and you are sure that your data is still safe even with configuration changes, then you can proceed and make the changes you desire.

Is it Advisable to Deactivate the Avast CyberCapture?   

One of the worst mistakes you can make is deactivating cybercapture on your Avast interphase when you don’t have any other reliable protection.

Deactivation of the cybercapture simply withdraws the capability of your antivirus to detect threats before they gain access to your computer files.

When this happens, your data is vulnerable and you may not know when faced by a potential threat. Once a Virus enters your computer, the next thing it does is to begin multiplying.

The magnitude of the negative impact of such a situation can simply be avoided by ensuring that your Avast antivirus has the CyberCapture activated at all the time.

On the other hand, deactivation of the cybercapture could be necessary either permanently or temporarily for various reasons.

What should always be considered is the safety of your data and the entire computer as well. That being the case, intensive care should be taken to prevent data as some of the repercussions may be irreversible.

The option to deactivate cyberCapture is available at the Avast interphase.

Conclusion 

In conclusion, the ultimate goal of an antivirus is to detect threats and protect your computer and the data in it. However, the act of deactivating the cybercapture option is seen as a way to weakening the effectiveness of your antivirus.

If there are other options beyond deactivating your cybercapture feature, it is advisable to consider them. Find other options to protect your data for the moment your cybercapture will be inactive.
