Hi, I installed avast home edition yesterday, so far quite impressed :-)
I ran a thorough scan, about 100GB of data, and it took about 4 hours, is this normal? My pc is a P4 (hyper threaded) 3.2Ghz with 1GB of ram, winxp home sp2.
Other active protection: spybot's teatimer, and spyware terminator.
As to the second part of my question, when I looked in the chest, there were 3 system files, kernel32.dll, winsock.dll, and wsock32.dll, none of which were infected when I scanned them individually. I was wondering whether these were replaced by avast as part of the shields? If not, I guess I restore them.
Thanks in advance, argus
