Title: Smart scan settings bug
Post by: REDACTED on January 26, 2015, 01:24:56 PM

Avast UI -> Settings -> General -> Smart scan

There are 4 options:
1) Scan for viruses
2) Scan for outdated software
3) Scan for network threats
4) GrimeFighter

When I turn on only sortware updater (2) and then run "Scan -> Smart scan", nothing happens.
Same with all options turn off.
You need start scan several times to see this effect.

To understand what I mean, try it yourself.

Works just fine for me..........all of the different scans do.

Tested this on:
Windows XP SP3, Avast IS / Avast Free
Windows 8.1 x64, Avast Premium / Avast Free

When I turn on software updater only, scan not start at all or always 0%.
When I turn another option with software updater, all OK.
