Title: Boot-Time Scan won't run in Windows 7 64-Bit (Avast 5.1)
Post by: Meteorz on January 02, 2011, 02:20:34 AM

I was happy to see the new release was out that allowed 64-bit Users to run a Boot-Time scan, But I schedule it...and nothing happens, it boots like normal. I try Unscheduling, then re-scheduling. And still nothing, any ideas? Thanks in advance!

No...I don't have any encrypted drives. At least not to my knowledge, I don't use anything like BitLocker...

What version of the program do you have - free / pro / IS?

I got the same problem.
I scheduled a boot time scan and nothing works.
So i reinstalled avast (clean install) and the Boot-Time Scan run. But after that the Behavior Shield is not working...
Using IS!

It's possible that the boot-time scanner in 64bit OSes actually doesn't start working right after the program is updated to avast! 5.1, but rather after the following virus definitions update - when the 64bit modules are downloaded and installed.

we will see. I have restored my System back on my latest image (from Wednesday) so i use actually the "old" 5.0.x version. I will wait for a new 5.1.x release bevor i try it again.

EDIT: For my other problems i open a new topic. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=68679.0
