I am a new user and still feeling my way around Avast! When I do a scan including archived items, I get a message at the completion saying there are 181 items that could not be scanned. Is this normal?
Thanks.

As you can read in many other threads also, yes this is normal. Avast and all other applications can not scan password protected archives. Changing the setting to thorough scan may scan some of the 181 files.
But password protected files can not be scanned. How is Avast suppose to opem them if it doesn’t know the password?
Thanks. I had no idea about this.

Is there anyway to add these files to an exclusion list?
Start Avast > menu > setting > exclusions
That’s where you can add them.
Ok, thanks Eddy.
