Avast Free Antivirus- -Questionable Product
« on: November 03, 2017, 07:44:47 AM »
So I decided to try out Avast Free Antivirus based upon various reviews I saw. It it did work, then I would buy it.

I downloaded it, took a while to set up, but once I did I decided to do a full system scan.

I started it and said to myself to go away and let it do its duty.

I come back 2 hours later and it is still sitting at 0%.

Aaaaahhh, excuse me? Still at 0%???

I decided to shut down Avast and restart my laptop to see if I need to reboot to activate it. So I did.

Click on "Run Full Scan," and let it run. Now came back 3 hours later (went on my run and did my other workouts) and sure enough, was not pass 0%.

It seems to be sitting there at 0%.

What is up? Do I need to buy this antivirus to get it to work? If so, what a crock of offering free antivirus!

To my knowledge it is just a bug in the progress gui .... should still scan
