Avast is now detecting it's definition files as locked and cannot be scanned.  I know there's no need to scan them, but this is new.  Maybe a new definition will change that.  Whatever it is it's not happened before and I've changed nothing.

Are you sure that it is saying locked and can't be scanned ?
That isn't an error/notice that I'm familiar with, normally that would be an access denied notice.

My guess is you are getting a can't be found reason for not being scanned:
If so - Nothing to worry about, those are old virus definitions folders and avast is doing some housecleaning to keep the size used on the hard disk to a minimum. This just happens to have occurred between the time you started the scan and it reaching that old defs folder.

I no longer have the initial popup summery, just the log.  It doesn't say anything about being locked, so it's possible I misread what I first saw.  The rest of the error message is as described.

In that case as mentioned, nothing to worry about.

I really hope an update comes out soon because this bug with web rep is annoying..... I guess time is virtue but this is really dragging.

I guess I've never found a good, easy and free program.


There is one integrated in Win 7...  8)

I've done the print screen and the copy to a paint program once.  Seems awkward.  Maybe I used the wrong thing.  Care to enlighten?
I just do a print screen and then paste into Irfanview and crop it and save it with maybe a sharpening done. Works as well as a seperate program for me.

I do agree that WebRep is not as important as problems with the main core of Avast! I don't even use it myself, or anything like it.

I always found the Auto Adjust Colors in irfanview worked well in reducing the file size also.

There are 125.000.000 Avast users.
Let's say 5% updated to V6 = 6.250.000
Let's say 5% of those have a WebRep problem = 312.500
Let's say 1% of those make it to this forum to complaint = 3.125

We have not seen this number by far - if that was a really common problem, the forum would be flooded.
