This has been with my Avast from the last summer. I remember it first occuring after I returned from summer vacation trip and my computer notified me about Avast update to newer version, though I don't remember which version it was, but I've upgraded Avast twice into newer version after that with the newest being Avast 2016.11.1.2241. I didn't come up here earlier since I thought it had something to do with that when I got home from the trip, my Windows Update also performed updates, anong installing some files ready for Windows 10 I recall (I still haven't updated my Win 7 to 10 yet though).
The thing is that since that Avast program update, running full scan with Avast on my computer now has taken double of the time it took before (it used to take only about an hour, now it has taken two), and more interesting, scan results show that Avast has scanned files for over 600 Gb, when combined space that my pc's C:\ and D:\ drives take should be rounded 370 Gb (size of my whole drives' space combined should be well over 1000 gb). Also, during first half of a full scan (first one hour) scan process (that circle thing that shows how far scan is going, I don't know its name...) seems to be stuck showing 0% but Avast still seems to scan lots of files during that time and after first hour used on full scan the circle starts moving normally untill scan completes at 100%. The whole thing hasn't seemed to be a problem, other than scan itself takes twice more time than before.
I guess at least part of this can very well be about my computer having much more files than before and full scan has showed variable results since then with me cleaning up computer space etc. I haven't installed anything massive outside few games from Steam and Battle.net, system updates and new personal video & image files. I've noticed that my Steam folder alone takes at least one hour to scan. But still the fact that the full scan started showing more scanned gigabytes and taking much more time seem a bit odd to me. When I do individual Avast scan for my drivers they show the correct amount of bytes the disks should hold. Also individual scans for my C:\ drive has always took casually about two hours to do. I'm not sure if this is about newer Avast versions having some advanced full scan or just something with my Avast's settings, though I don't recall messing with full scan settings.
I've believed that this could've had been doing something with some Windows 10 preinstallation files being stored on my computer, but after doing a full scan with $Windows.~BT folder left out, the scan result hasn't shown significant difference. Could this whole thing have something to do with full scan settings/mechanics been changed/improved with newer version of Avast?
