Avast cancelling mid scan

[Squirrelsaver]

Hi, Today I started a a full system scan and my Avast stopped the scan midway through and returned to home tab, any help would be appreciated.

[Pondus]

and you have tried a reboot and new scan to see if it happens again?

or the avast repair option from ad/remove programs ..... and then a new scan?

[Squirrelsaver]

Yes I tried that but then Avast crashed and not responding and now I cant close it

[Pondus]

any other security programs installed?

you may attach a OTL diagnostic log, then a log expert can have a look inside ....

[Squirrelsaver]

I have Malware Bytes installed as well. I attached the log below like you suggested

[essexboy]

No apparent malware there, do you notice the area being scanned when it stops

[Squirrelsaver]

No sorry, I however ran other scan and it didn't stop this time

[essexboy]

Could you monitor it and if it happens again let me know

[Squirrelsaver]

Yes I will, thanks for the help

Hi Essexboy. I started a full scan today and it immediately stopped. It went back to home tab and all my shields reset to 0/0

OK lets go for a fresh install of Avast and then work from there

Download Uninstall Utility to your Desktop.
Download the correct version of Avast 
Avast Free
Avast Pro
Avast Internet Security
Avast Premier
Disconnect from the net
Uninstall Avast via control panel

• Run aswClear
• It will offer to reboot to safe mode .. Accept that

• Once it has rebooted to safe mode
• In the Select Product to Uninstall dropdown choose the version of Avast that is on your system.
  
• Press Uninstall
  
• Once complete reboot your system to Normal Mode
  
• Reinstall Avast
