Scan Information
« on: October 10, 2009, 05:50:44 AM »
I'm fairly new to Avast and so far I like it, my question is when I do a scan (before I go to bed or when I know I won't be using my computer for awhile) I set it to scan but when I return I find it has detected something and the scan has stopped until I address the detection. This has happened when a small percent of the scan has been achieved and I again have to wait for the scan to finish. Is there a setting that will let the scan run until completion and then let me address the detection then?

Uninterrupted scans can be achieved in avast PRO. On the otherhand, a few get arounds can help you set it to be like PRO's. Just follow these steps:
  • Download an EICAR.com.zip and put it in a folder with the name A on C:/
  • Run a scan
  • Once the EICAR file is detected, select "Do not show this dialog box until scan is finished."
