I installed the free version after I downloaded the 86.341KB file avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe last week.
The Explorer.exe bug is still there and last night it practically erased an entire directory of jpg files, I thought because I could not see them under all files.
My system Vueprint screen saver program froze up and Windows sent an error message after I said ok then Windows logged me off and it was stuck there. I pushed the restart button and found saved files were gone. However, when i go to the FireFox download page and try to download the file again after bring up the web location Explorer ask me if I want to overwrite the file and I don't see it after I switch to all files in the directory. I counted the files in the properties and it matches what I see. Before all this happened I was waiting for the Full System scan to finish because it had found a bug. I found that to be a trojan, JS:ScriptPE-inf[Trj].
I did a scan of the problem directory of missing files and one jpg had an error message,
"Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check) (23)"
Usually on all my Full System Scans and Boot Scans I omit my Pictures directory and subfolder which is mostly image files, over 52,000 files, except for the text directory. I just started a deep directory scan of those files now. I try to first repair, then if repair fails move to chest, and delete if all else fails. I can recover the files later, but I think I'll do a boot scan of the entire Pictures directory after the Deep Scan completes.
However, the Explorer bug is probably still there.
