Doing a scan w/ Avast

[OObi]

Where do I go to on the program to start a scan? I can't seem to find the button anywhere I go? Thanks.

Hello OObi...

Right click the avast! icon in your system tray. The option to start a scan is the second listing from the top I believe.

Hope this helps.

I've tried this before and I forgot what happened. Either way, it didn't work. I'm trying it now and not getting anything. Does it just happen out of sight? There is no progress bar or anything like that?

Does the interface open?
If you run C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashSimpl.exe will it open?

I don't have those files.

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. You need to be on-line to do this.

If that doesn't work try, uninstall, reboot, install, reboot.

Very bad installation. Follow David's advices, please.
