When I scan one file, Avast does not show any results
« on: April 25, 2015, 02:20:42 PM »
Hi,
When I right click on a file and scan it, I get an empty window as the results. It doe not tell me if the file is OK or not. I upgraded to the last version with no success...
Thanks!

Working fine on my systems.
Perform a repair of avast and see if the problem is solved.
If not, perform a clean installation of the latest version.

You need the setting to show special scans (which the context menu scan is) AvastUI > Settings > General > Special scans - Settings.

Is the Explorer scan in the list of special scans ?

Thank you all for your great suggestions - it eventually only worked when I uninstalled and reinstalled Avast...
