The whole partition? Of just Seen folder? Oh... what is Seen (do you mean Vista)? ???
Check avast settings (exclusion lists) to see if anything is being skipped.

Varja, some folders in Vista aren't scanned because they're only links. Vista uses circular links to %Program Files% and %Users% folders.
Avast is just reporting it. You can uncheck the options for reporting soft and hard errors on the avast settings.
It was a problem, already solved (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=27330.msg223192#msg223192). Now, the only thing that rests is the reporting.

The other parts of the system should be scanned.
