Why Avast scan all my partitions in task background and randomly ?

Hello I have a problem with Avast ...
I configured Avast so that it does not scan all my storage partitions (I used the exclusion list) but it continues to randomly scan ALL my partitions ...
An idea ? How to prevent Avast from scanning all my HDDs, it was the process "AswidsAgentas.exe" the culprit.
A big thank you for all replies.
EDIT: I want to prevent Avast from scanning all my partitions except my system partition.

I have Avast Free in beta
- Last version (.2349)
- Windows 7 64 bits
- no other security software installed
- I did use "Microsoft Security Essential"
I put all my partitions except the "C:" in the exclusion list for the components "Agent of files" and "Agent suspicious actions" but nothing to do from time to time I can see via the "monitor of resource "that Avast scan my excluded partitions ...
It is stated that it is the process "AswidAgentas.exe" that is scanning my different partitions.
All my partitions:

Hi, can't find "AswidAgentas.exe" on my system, do you mean "aswidagenta.exe"..?
If so, that's the behavior shield - no idea why it would scan your partitions, sorry.
