Confirmed here, too. I have 4 of them.
As each of their settings have certain path in the "Scan Areas" section, it looks like a remnant of context menu (Windows Explorer) scan in the past.

Mine appears fine as I hadn't done a context scan in some time.

I have however found another bug (the Invisible Smart Scan), after boot I opened the UI to check if the same issue as yours was present but mine was OK.

I did however notice that there was the Red circle with '1' over the Bell (notifications), clicking that it reports Smart Scan - 'We found some issues.' Well I never ran a Smart Scan and as per previous issue No Report in Scan History or entry in the log file.

The is getting frustrating avast fix something and seem to break something else, though I did find and report this in 17.4.2293.

After rebooting the system, the entry/bug (Reply #6) is gone. (Didn't try to reproduce it yet)

Hi Dave, can't reproduce this one. The funny thing is, I don't get any notifications after running a scan at all.
Wonder, if this is another bug or just a sloppy workaround for the smart-scan rescan issue...

Sloppy may well be the case in getting rid of one bug only to create another. Given that my test system is my XP Pro SP3 desktop, as it has the greatest protection and a really robust backup and recovery strategy. And some had been reporting issues with XP, but I didn't suffer with them.

However, I did experience this in the last beta and reported it also in the 17.4.2293 beta, https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=201164.msg1389908#msg1389908.

OK, just tried it again and this bug is reproducible.
