Ok - spot the new guy !!!
Looked thru recent posts & searched without success, so here goes.
Whether I scan local drives or select files/folders, the scanner goes for a while ( I have 28,00 files on the drive in question ). At around 26k, it hangs on a VERY big file then goes a little more then hangs on another VERY big file, etc.. until I get an error about no more room on drive.
I also have a collection of 1.6GB files suddenly appear on my drive, all prefixed with unp, ie..unp80801, unp 876123, & so on. Needless to say, I delete these things over & over before re-scanning......
As yet I have not fully scanned my hard drive as Avast4 seems to create a file of such magnitude then scans it, having to create a new file for this procedure, then scans that file while having to create another, etc, etc, etc, DISK FULL & CRASH.
Anyone had this happen.
Any idea what causes it.
Any idea how to stop it
I have had no problems with mail scanner or resident protection, just when I try to do a local scan
