Jenai, I've reach my knowleage limit... unfortunatelly I could not go further.
I've asked superior help to Alwil team.
Just to be sure, if you choose a big file (for instance, *.zip or *.arj or *.cab) and try to scan it, don't you even see the quick scanner interface? I'm not saying the results, just the scanner interface.

Yikes.. I was in the middle of ans when my puter up and rebooted it'self. 

Yes, I have tried all different kinds of files.. Nothing happens, it's like it's dead.. no flash, nothing.

I have found something though...  If I add a shortcut to  the ashQuick.exe in my "Send To" folder, and send the file that I want to scan there, it does it just fine...
But...... this really isn't normal.. I shouldn't have to do that.

Something is wrong somewhere.. lol

After all, I think you're computer has a problem, not avast... Nothing is normal...

Maybe.... but I'm not having any problems anywhere else, or with any other programs.  The spontaneus reboot was an isolated insident. It didn't happen before nor since.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not completely blaming Avast. I love the program.. I think it's the best out there.  It may be a combo of things..

Thanks for trying to help.

Can you start the "ordinary" avast! scanners, namely ashSimple.exe and ashSimpl2.exe from avast! installation folder? What about ashQuick.exe?

Yes to all three.  Everything in Avast appears to work.. it's just that it won't scan from the rt click context menu.
