Virus scan reinstalling Windows?
« on: March 17, 2017, 03:38:21 AM »
Hi all. Earlier this afternoon I initiated a full system scan using Avast Free. Then I left for the evening. When I came back about four hours later, my screen is cycling on a message saying "Getting Windows ready, please do not turn off your computer."

What is going on here?  Is this a Windows reinstall?  Why on earth would it do that?  How long should I wait for Windows to "get ready?"

Thanks!
