Hi guys, also having slow scanning problems since installing Avast 9 Free, upgrading from version 8. Scanning a small file, 1.6MB, which previously took only seconds with version 8, now taking 15+ minutes to complete.
No other AV installed
No changes to system since installing version 9
System: Toshiba laptop, AMD E350 1.6GHz, 4GB, Win7.
Also, anyone know whats the go with the "
?"; for example, if I go to Scan and open the drop down list to select type of scan there are 4/5 scan types and about 20 entries labelled
?. Also shows up when running file scan, i.e. right click on file select scan with avast, scan window opens, as with version 8, but window remains empty and a taskbar popup appears with the % complete bar and the msg "
? / Running"
Noticed a few other quirks as well, almost as if version 9 hasn't quite been finished off.
? is four question marks ? ? ? ?
