some files could not be scanned

[Alicia82]

Hi, I just ran a full Avast! scan and even though no viruses were found it said "some files could not be scanned." I tried to click on results to see more details but I couldn't get much information...if it helps I've included a screen shot.

Yesterday, due to to the whole Java fiasco, I uninstalled Java using JavaRa. (A program recommended by someone on the Firefox forums.) It seemed to do the job eliminating Java but I had a hard time deleting the actual JavaRa program itself once I was finished. Could that have something to do with the un-scannable files? The last time I ran a full scan (about five days ago), I had no problems.

Also, SuperAntiSpyware and Malware Bytes scans are clear. I'm hoping that the files Avast! couldn't scan are not malicious... o_O

Thanks.

Those are Avast! files from VPS. Avast! have not done its house cleaning yet by the time you ran the scan. Do not worry.

*phew* Thank you, iroc9555!   

You are welcome. BTW to remove JavaRA you only have to delete the folder you opened the zip in.

I tend to over-complicate things.
I think I right-clicked on the JavaRa icon and hit delete...somehow I ended up losing my recycle bin by doing that. (It's back though!)

You know now. Download the ZIP to a folder and extract the files there. Run the .exe and when finish just delete the folder.
