Hello,
Problem: Can't perform full system scan for already 2 days.
Symptoms:
1) Full scan processes not more than 85820 files (~15,3Gb). No matter how long scan runs.
1.1) First attempt: 85800 files, scan itself lasted ~00:01:31
1.2) Second attempt: 85810 files, scan itself lasted ~00:01:13
1.3) Third attempt: 85820 files, scan itself lasted ~1:25:44, but duration between start/stop was somewhere around 9 hours. No luck
1.4) Forth attempt: 85820 files, scan itself lasted ~03:41:18, but duration between start/stop was somewhere around 13 hours. No luck
2) Different settings of the "persistive cash" doesn't influence on the scan freezes.
3) During scans both cores of my CPU are 100% busy with AvastSvc32.exe.
4) Even after scan was stopped, AvastSvc32.exe still consumes ~100% of the CPU.
UPDATE: I have a dump of the AvastSvc32.exe in this state. Wasn't able to kill the process, the only thing that helped to release my CPU is the reboot.
Tech specs:
Avast version: 5.0.377
Windows Seven Ultimate x64
4Gb RAM
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Please help, as the situation is really frustrating...
