cannot scan
« on: October 19, 2008, 09:41:14 PM »
4.8 Home. After full scan there is a list of over 100 files that couldn't be scanned. In the past I've seen at most a dozen or so. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

And what files was it? And why couldn't avast scan them? Some security programs password protect it's files, for example Ad-Aware, and as avast don't know the password, avast can't scan the files.

What avast version number are you using, 4.8.1229 is the latest regular release ?

Can you give us some examples of the file names, locations and reason why the files couldn't be scanned.

See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=35347.msg297170#msg297170 this topic for more information on why files can't be scanned.
