Scan Progress

[MartinS]

Hi
I've set up Avast to do a weekly scan on a Friday evening, and in the reports it says these have been done, but there is no visual indication that the scan has started, or of it's progress.  Is this something that can be shown but is turned off by default
Regards
Martin

I suppose you're using the Professional (Enhanced) Interface.
No, the results are stored inside the logs and reports. You can use and work with them.
avast behavior (on cleaning viruses, scanning, etc.) could be fully automated.

Scheduled scanning works like these.
To visual information be displayed, you must run on-demmand. Oh, just my opinion, I think this is the best behavior: silent when we're not near (automatic) and with alerts when we ask so  

Martin, welcome

Ok, that's fine - I guess I'm just used to seeing it working (ex Norton user) and just need to get used to the new way!

Martin, welcome
