Sensitive Data Shield
Access this feature from: Privacy ▸ Sensitive Data Shield
Sensitive Data Shield scans and protects your personal sensitive documents against unauthorized access and malware. The files considered sensitive contain your personal information, which can compromise your privacy and identity if revealed. Sensitive Data Shield controls which applications and users have access to your files to secure your private data.
Sensitive Data Shield is enabled by default. To disable this feature, click the green ON slider and click Yes to confirm the change. The slider changes to red and displays the text OFF. We recommend keeping Sensitive Data Shield turned on at all times.
Note: This feature is available in Avast Ultimate, Avast Premier and Avast Internet Security only.
