It is explorer, I just don't like white backgrounds, too bright, so I change my Windows Display Properties, Appearance tab, Advanced, Window and change the Color 1:

Very, very interesting DavidR. I normally use an Explorer substitute called Directory Opus but I've checked with Win Explorer and they both behave the same on my system 'Scan <obj name>' for single selections and 'Scan selected area for viruses' for multiple selections.

I find the text for multiple selections more informative because includes the word 'virus', qualifying the scan as a virus scan. Howver it is not ideal. A better phrase would be 'Scan selection for viruses'. Ultimately, I think the preferred solution is to let the user choose if they are so inclined, hence my suggestion for a new option.

BTW, I'm using XP/SP3.

Well I don't know what your avast Appearance settings are or even if that might have any impact, check the image for my settings.

Same, XP Pro SP3.

Hi DavidR. I have no other things to suggest. I compared your setting with mine. No relevant difference.

I don't know about you but I'm not too concerned about this. If the Avast team want to know more I'm sure they will contact you.

Thanks for your contributions to this topic, I've learnt heaps.
