Please post in a new topic as this topic is unrelated to your issue.

That said, Files that can't be scanned are just that, not an indication they are suspicious/infected, just unable to be scanned.

Many programs (usually security based ones) password protect their files for legitimate reasons, there are others (and avast doesn't know the password or have any way of using it even if it did know it).

If you need further assistance/clarification, then please start your own new topic in the Viruses and Worms forum - or do a search for can't be scanned in that forum as this is a frequently asked question.

Since Adobe Flash is incorporated as a part of the Edge browser, I just wait until 10 AM (US) Pacific Standard Time to go to the Settings menu in Windows 10 via Update & Security to have Flash automatically updated for Edge.  Such an update for Windows 10 Edge browser is available today.

Otherwise, Adobe Flash is persona non grata for other browsers I use, and has not been run in them for quite some time now, with the same being true for Java JRE.  It helps to look for update notifications from Adobe before Microsoft actually issues an out-of-band security update for it.
