Hello!
Windows XP SP3 (updated)
This morning I updated to avast! 7 and the built in updater completed the process successfully. After the requested reboot, the welcome screed appeared.

OK. I started noticing something wrong because the icon in the system tray was rolling continuously and my CPU usage was always at 100%. After opening the UI, I noticed this:

Can you see the File System Protection part? The numbers of scanned files (in green) kept growing and growing. I waited a lot. Then I checked the properties of my C:\ drive and found out that I have approximatively 185.000 files. avast! was scanning 280.000 and still growing.
So I rebooted and... received the "welcome screen" again, and after that avast! started to scan something from the beginning, with the CPU at 100%.
Now, just to be sure... Is this a planned "first time" scan after the update, so that I have just to wait until it ends?
Because if it isn't, I think I should try to uninstall and reinstall again and see if this resolves the problem.
