Avast free does not save / store my custom scan

What are the ??? under the scan drop down list.
If I hit “create custom scan” this is what appears in the scan name window.
If I then change this to a name of my choice, and fill in the rest of the scan details,
then hit OK my scan name does not appear on the resulting page, nor in the drop down list - only another “???”.
Furthermore, if I select one of these “???” (now many) and hit delete on the resultant page, it is not deleted.

What am I doing wrong?

  • Which version of avast! Free…??
  • OS…?? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP…?)
