Hey hey, I had exactly the same problem with one particular application. ACDSEE Classic. It keeps a databse of thumbnails and I have several very large picture directories and the thumbnail cache was about 6mb with somewhere in the region of 3000 thumbnail piccies. It slowed the system down for about 2 minutes of being virtually unable to do anything so I exlcluded ACDdb.aid (or whatever the name is) from the scan. ;D
I’m guessing it uses a zip or something and avast is scanning eeverry singgllee littellleee picctttuureee.
It’s ok, I can’t see a virus getting in there, but it would be interesting to know if anyone else has found this.
