Avast is scanning more Data than i have.
« on: August 06, 2015, 01:28:16 PM »
My last two avast scans have scanned over 1 terrabyte of data, and my hard drive only has 362 gigs of 931 used. My scans used to go very quickly, and now they take up to 3 hours. The weird part is my malwarebytes scans only take 30 minutes, and they scan roughly the amount i have on my drive. I'd appreciate any insight y'all might have. Also both avast, and malwarebytes aren't picking up any sort of infection. Alright guys I'm heading to bed I'll check this when i wake up. Again thank you for your time.

Avast also unpacks and scans (depending on settings) your compressed files.
