Little Problem
« on: March 25, 2012, 02:11:00 PM »
For some reason whenever I do a scan this error "Error: the system cannot find the path specified (3)" always shows up in the scan logs.
I've included a screen capture below.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum, it's seems the file that avast can't scan are on a drive G:
if this drive is removable, are you sure you haven't disconnect it after the reboot or during the scan?

Wich type of scan do you try?
Quick o full system?
Try to disable in the scan settings->sensitivity the box "Follow links during scan" and then report

I report to you from the avast help:
Quote
By checking the box "Follow links during scan" you can ensure that the targets of any file system links are also scanned for potentially harmful content. If this box is checked, the content of any folder to which you would be redirected from a folder which is being scanned, will also be scanned.

Probably they are old link, or dead link to folders not accessible
