Yep.. .. above the 'folder' icon is the 'removable media' icon, above that is the 'local disk' (hard drive) icon .. .. unless I've been sniff'in the wrong glue again  :-\

I've found the icon.
No more problem : the date of last scan is OK.

Thank you for all.

Are you saying that:

1. selecting the HDD icon
2. starting the scan
3. letting the scan to complete

does not update the Date of Last Scan?

Hi Vlk,

Yep exactly.

Avast runs through all four Hard Drive partitions (thorough+archive), Reports 'Scan completed'. But the SI always says Scan "Not yet done"... weird eh!?

Hi There I'm having the same problem, but mine says a virus was found in _RESTORE\TEMP\A00031.cpy and then it gives me the popup window asking me what I want to do like delete the file move the file. Whatever I choose it doesn't work. it says access denied, When I check manually my directs I find a _RESTORE\TEMP but no *.cpy files When I try another Scanner like avg it reports no viruses only avast reports a virus.

Fletch,

You did some groundwork by searching the forums.. well done.  :) But you probably picked the wrong thread.  ;)

If you have another look around, you might find reference to scanning in 'safe mode' etc.

I guess the file you 'can't see' is part of the windowns restore system and won't be shown unless you turn that option on in the view file types of explorer (not just the system/hidden files.. look further down the list).

Anyway, I HATE advising what to delete. If no one else joins in, can I suggest you start a NEW topic.

Good luck
W.

Fletch,

Yes I understand, but have you tried scanning in 'safe mode'??
and then before deleting check for other references in the forum.

Fletch, you probably has Windows ME. This folder will be empty if you 'disable' the System Restoration (I think there is an icon for System into Control Panel and the option for this disabling). Boot the computer. Enable System Restoration again. I think the files will gone away. Probably they are 'protected with a internal password, gived by Windows' and could not be accessed or scanned. It's quite safe to delete them by the way I have mentioned.
