What avast version are you using (17.1.2286 being the latest) ?
What scan were you doing ?

If you are using the latest version, then open the avastUI > Components - scroll down to the Security Browser Extension & SafePrice Browser Extension and uninstall them.

1. Just right click on the avast tray icon and select about avast. Or from the avastUI > Settings > About Avast.

2. having  said "i dont want firefox-addons by avast. Thanks a lot" my assumption that you wanted them removed.
Though having disabled them, they are still there, removing them completely I would have thought would be better.

3. I believe the Details on the Smart Scan is an acknowledged bug (to be fixed). Having run the smart scan, go back AvastUI > Protection > Antivirus > Scan History, that should give you some information on the scan. Though it won't be much if there were no alerts you're only going to get duration and files scanned, etc.

Both smartscan, bootscan and deepscan found something. i "removed" them reg. bootscan and deepscan. only dont know where are the logs showing details? i have seen logs and reports but nothing regarding "found" can be seen.
normally i am printing them out and then do my actions. Thanks.
update: yes found scanhistory but i dont see an option to print it out! Not good.
NB: regarding the elsewhere reported slowdown of account-logout etc in winxp also AVG-related(first was AVG then Avast installed):
its now gone and spybot search and destroy wasnt so friendly. had to learn to be friendly.... So everything ok now. beside omission of printing out reports here.

If not available:
2. where are the report-files for all the scan-options:
bootscan, smartscan and deep-scan(if that expression is right)

1. There isn't one, it should be automatically be saved in both the Scan History (avastUI > Protection >  Antivirus - Scan History and the report/log files.

2. The scan information should also be in the C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report folder if you have enabled Generating a report file in the scan settings. There is no deep-scan, I can only assume you mean the Full System scan. The file name will reflect the scan name, unless you have changed what you want the report file name to be.

The boot time scan is somewhat different as it is essentially run before windows has fully started, check the C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log and \report folders for aswboot.log and aswboot.txt

It says it has found something-which i deleted. so if i didnt activate reporting it will show but is not saved, right? also says then no messages.
Where is this setting for log/reports to be saved?
not in protection/antivirus! thanks

1. Deletion is never a good first option, you don't have any left.

2. Reporting is a function for the creation of a (report) file; directly after a scan you should have access to the data on that scan in the Scan History as I said.

3. The creation of a report file is within the Settings for the scan which you want to run. There is a cog/sprocket in the image of the scan you want to edit, clicking that gives all of the scans settings, including Report file and its Generation.

1. Restarted after having set a reportname but...
a) one cannot set save-location. where was * i exchanged that and defined a name. but search cannot find it! Where is it stored?
2. scan was very quick but it didnt tell how long and
Avast was freezed-in winxp. couldnt close. only with ctrl. + Alt + delete taskmanager
yes before scanning i deactivated liveprotection in both malwarebytes and spybot.
If it will freeze again and i cannot set reportfile i will remove Avast and give AVG another trial.

Ordinarily I would have thought if you can't enter a location then it should be in the location that I gave earlier.

The only issue for that, is the folder may be hidden by your OS, so a search wouldn't find it. In windows explorer > View - and check the  Hidden items.
