Hi Guys,
Just downloaded the Mac beta version of avast and set it to do a full system scan. Here are the results:
scanned files: 52687891: Found infections: 853 (this is on a 2 month old mac)
scan duration: 66h 18min 36sec
Now to have a scan take this long simply is not on. Apart from anything else it reduces the usefulness of the computer virtually taking it out of use.
Having found 853 infections i cannot do anything with them as the buttons at the bottom of the scan screen are grey'd out. Is this because the program is in beta?
Hallo,
52 millions of files is probably not the count expected on bare system volume - so, you probably have lots of other files or some mounted volume in your path (although we don't scan such volumes by default).
Please, could you do from terminal utility:
find / -type f | gzip -c -9 >~/Desktop/log.txt
... and send us the log (when it's some sane size, let's say <10MB)
regards,
pc
