hi.. the reason of this eror message is that you've selected an virtual folder to scan... windows shell function returns bad path for it..

Can you post a screenshot of the "Area-to-scan selection" window? What exactly have you selected to be scanned?

hi ! follow the file path, then try to scan the unscanned file. right click on it, then try to scan and see if you'll have the same result.

I meant
1 - put the address of the unscanned file in the address bar
C:\ PROGRAM FILES\ALWIL SOFTWARE\AVAST 4\... \0000:  --->
2 - press Ok,
3 - go directly to the file.
4 - right click on it
5 - and scan it, then see if avast is unable to scan it.

okay anie !
1- scan your computer, after the scan is over, the error appears. in the window which shows the unscanned files copy the the the path which look like C:\ PROGRAM FILES\ALWIL SOFTWARE\AVAST 4\... \0000:  ---> . Open Desktop and paste the path in the address bar.
then
2 - press Ok,
3 - go directly to the file.
4 - right click on it
5 - and scan it, then see if avast is unable to scan it.
