Boot Scan stuck at Installing additional definitions.

[REDACTED]

Is the boot scan install of additional definitions supposed to take long? I've been waiting for about 15 min for it to finish and its still not done. I've also been able to replicate this on my other computers.

Are you running the latest version of Avast and is it up-to-date

Next time you get ready to run one of these boot time scans, update first then schedule it.

I have the same, but regards the Windows XP only. This installation I call as neverending one.
