In Avast 6 Free, I often get error report: SOME FILES NOT SCANNED.
These always prove to be Avast's OWN files.
Based on the above, what is the fix for this?
I am guessing a little, but are these files in the C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\defs folder?
These happens when the previous days virus definitions are cleared during the running of the scan. When the scan is started, they are called up to be scanned, but before they are scanned, avast happens to do some housecleaning and they are removed.
The errors are generated not in the log file that pops up after each scan is completed, but in the software's main screen itself. These errors are not part of any log file I can locate. So I can't tell you where they are stored if at all and hence can't identify the specific names/locations of about 5 Avast Files the scan says it cannot locate and thus cannot scan. I will attempt to write the specifics with pen and paper after the next scan that produces these errors and report back.
As previously detailed the only report file I can locate is generated in C:\D&S\All Users\Application Data\Alwil Software\Avast5/reports/_avast report.txt and its size -- 1.5G -- renders it unreadable by notepad.
