I got Avast to complete its Full Scan.

Thanks for the tip - the progress meter took seven hours to complete.

So I am satisfied now that it can do a full scan, in any event that I should need it.

It is disconcerting that it took an hour and a half to reach 1% - I dont remember it being like that before, but I am most please that it was able to accomplish the task.

It is so unusual that a progress meter would stay at 0% for so long, as it does actually look like it is not working at all. Thank the Forum for its help.

In a future update (No ETA), some stats for the scans will be brought back to actually persuade the user that the scan is not stuck.
