Title: OSX 10.9 - files impossible to scan
Post by: REDACTED on December 10, 2014, 04:41:52 PM

Hello all.
Just completed full scan and got a report stating that it was impossible to scan over 1500 files.
Just what might be the reason? Is there a particular kind of files Avast just can't analyse and would those be potentially dangerous?
Thx

1500 seems to be "a little bit" more than usual. This may for example indicate
an error in one of the Avast's packers, but without the file list it is hard to say
anything without just guessing.

Can you please provide the list of the files?
