I just installed Avast on a second computer I obtained, I reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Windows 2000 Pro. The first thing I did was install Avast. The odd thing it does is after you run the scan, it just vanishes. I don’t even know if it completes the scan. I have been using Avast on my other computer for 1 1/2 years and Avast stays open till I close it down. Is this correct? I set all the settings to the exact same thing I have on my main computer.
You can log the scan to see if that’s true:
Go to settings/Report file/Create Report file
Than you can run a scan.
Check this folder afterwards:
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\report
and file that consits a name of the scan that you performed.
Is your version of avast Home or Pro?
What scan did you performed, On-Demand or Explorer Extension Scan?
