Whilst I don’t use Avast Pro, the on-demand scan function should be the same.
I just launched on on my win10 laptop with the latest version of avast free and that appeared to work just fine. I only ran it against my downloads folder not a complete drive so it would complete quickly
It seems that the reboot has fixed that. btw. first time in a long time I have installed avast clean so maybe that’s all it needed, few reboots.
Thnaks
It worked for the first 2 times and it stopped again
Follow up, whist I don’t get any acknowledgement of the scan starting or having run, I tried running it on 3 different occasions and no reaction from Avast.
Looking at the Scan History it had a record for the three scans, see attached. It would appear that it is at least running.
But if I open the main GUI while doing a second scan (documents) and then close the main window shortly after, the Windows Explorer scan window pops up and displays the second scan (or third or fourth scan) progress…
Interesting,
Just tried and no problem. Toaster came up immediately.
Thought to try again after a few minutes and no toaster.
However, duplicated Mchain’s action by opening UI then closing and voila the toaster appeared showing progress.
Yup squash it.
Apparently the scan always works but you can’t see the progress or results
on a second and subsequent scans unless the Avast UI is open when doing the explorer scan.
