Right click...scan x...then dissappears!
« on: February 23, 2006, 07:08:32 PM »
I'm very pleased with avast! and have been using it for about a year.
However, when i right click on a file, then click scan..., it scans, and then dissapears, which leaves me wondering whether the file is clean or not.
Is this a known problem, and is it being fixed, or is my avast! buggered?   ???

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I have the latest version.

Right click the 'a' blue icon.
Program settings.
Common.
Show results for the Explorer Extension option  ;)

It is working as the default settings, change the Program Settings, Common, and tick Show results of Explorer Extension.

Welcome to the forums, damage.    :)

Without the changes Tech and David suggested, the default setting is to scan and then close if all is OK. If an infection had been found, you should have gotten a warning instead of the "scan & close." I hope this is helpful.

Please come back often, learn more, and maybe help others.    :)

No problem, something you will get used to on the avast forums.
