1 file testing
« on: September 05, 2007, 05:07:31 PM »
I have avast4.7.   How do I test just 1 or 2 files instead of having to test entire computer for viruses?

Thank you.

Right click on the file/folder and in the context menu, choose scan with avast.

If you are downloading these files many download applications, etc. have a means to have the file scanned by your anti-virus. If yours does then assuming that you installed avast! in the default folder, this is the path needed to scan downloads, C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security
