Hi there. Got a simple one for all of you:
I'm running the latest version of Avast Internet Security. Whenever I try to run a Smart Scan it gets stuck on the Performance Issues scan, showing 83% completion but not progressing any further.
I've tested the problem by leaving Smart Scan running for 20 mins, but the scan still won't run to completion. I can, however, use the "Stop Scan" button to end the scan.
Smart Scan /will/ complete if I disable the performance issues component.
So, what action should I take in response to this?
1. Leave Avast alone and wait for a bug fix in the next version of Internet Security
2. Uninstall and reinstall Internet Security (using the Avast installer's "Repair" function has caused me problems in the past)
3. Something else
System: Windows 10 updated to the 11/Sept/2018 cumulative patch, Core 7700hq, 8GB RAM, no other malware/spyware detectors installed. Avast Internet Security 18.6.2349.
