I got a message that my home network is safe and allowed me to scan it. I don't have a home network. Does this mean someone has hacked into my computer?
Hello Roger,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
We understand that you got a message that AVG has scanned your home network.
We would like to inform that the Network Inspector (previously Wi-Fi inspector) scans your current network for vulnerabilities and security issues that may expose your sensitive private data, or leave the devices on your network vulnerable to attacks. In addition, Network Inspector shows which devices are currently connected to your home network, so you can see if anyone is using your network without your consent.
Each time you run a Network Inspector scan, you are prompted to select if the network you are currently connected to is Home or Public. Network Inspector scans for different issues and offers different solutions depending on the network type, so it is important to select the correct option:
Home: Scan a private network that you own (such as your home network).
Public: Scan a network that you do not own. This may be a public Wi-Fi network, or a work or school network that is managed by a separate network administrator.
For more details regarding home network and public you can check this article below: | AVG (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=use-avg-network-inspector&q=home+network&supportType=home)
Awaiting for your response,
