Difference between the scans
« on: February 01, 2009, 09:55:21 PM »
Can someone please tell me what the difference is between QUICK, STANDARD AND THOROUGH SCANS? Also, what are the 'Archive' files it scans if you select that option?

I always tend to do a thorough scan and select to scan Archive files but surely this is not necessary every time?
Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) SP1,
Intel Core i5-2410M @2.30GHz, 6GB RAM
AvastFree Antivirus & ZoneAlarm Free.

Justin i can respond only for archive some time there are some virus that is hiding on your archives so Avast will verify if there are some virus on it or not
