Avast can't scan what should I do

If avast can’t scan a file(1920), what should I do? I scan with MBAM as well and that has come up clean so I don’t think it’s anything to worry about

It says they are all WinSxS and amd64 and wow64. Is there a reason avast cant read these because they are all avast update files.

what should I do?

Nothing, it is normal but all security programs does not show files they can not scan in log

Is there a reason avast cant read these

It should say why in the avast message ... anyway this is normal and nothing to worry about

They are [b]NOT[/b], WinSxS belongs to WinOS and not avast As said in previous posts, you can clean/remove all unnecessary files with CCleaner
