A strange behavior I noticed today…
I started a quick scan and closed the avast UI which makes avast to show a notification of scan progress near sys clock. Well I stopped the scanning from there and it stopped saying scan canceled. But whenever I click on avast icon and clicked on last notification shown then it shows the …
But when I click on resume or any button in below notification it again shows scan cancelled… ??? ??? ???
My first thought is “why close the UI?” All that was needed was to minimize. If you close the UI all scans are canceled. Keep the UI open, just minimize. I never close the UI during a scan. I always minimize. Try this then get back to us. 
I think the point he is making is that after cancelling the quickscan using the pop-up notification the “show last popup message” does not correctly show the last popup. Also, closing the UI does not cancel any scan for me and never has. I receive the same results as Ashish while showing the last popup.
My dear friend
To let you understand the problem faced by me… I request you to plz click start and then close the UI and see if the scan stops or not… This way you will notice my problem…
Warm Regards

I’m sorry I could not replicate the same results. avast! worked as it should for me. Another idea, for what it’s worth, is to do a “repair”. Click “start”…click “control panel”…click “avast”…click “repair”. Or re-run the set-up package then click “repair”.
I did a clean install 5 times. used avast removal tool 6 also…
Any other who had experience similar behavior…?
I have been unable to replicate the problem with my windows 7
I stop the scan from the taskbar - and when I open the GUI it is stopped there
what other programmes do you have running when you experience this ?
I just tried and was unable to reproduce the problem.
Starting a scan, closing the GUI, stopping via the scan notification and then opening the GUI again resulted in it showing the Start scan screen as you would expect.

@ BTCENTRAL and Tech, Thank you both. I have tried several times and never get the same result as the OP.
Ashish, I may be thinking differently here. Can you further explain this? Is what you are trying to show is that when you go to the Avast icon and right click on it then select “show last popup” that the popup is not the same in the second image that you posted as compared to the third image that you posted? That the third image does not show canceled?
My scan starts and stops as expected whether using the popup or the GUI. The only thing that I can see is that when I select “show last popup” the popup doesn’t show it as being canceled but going to the GUI it is canceled.
Just like the others have done I tried to replicate, and in my system everything worked as it should.
Charyb, you’re right. I haven’t thought on that way. The message restored is like Ashish Singh posted.
The problem with this thread is that no one has stated what is considered an pop-up by the program.
Seriously
Maybe the program doesn’t consider the so called pop-up generated after a scan has been cancelled as a pop-up.
Makes sense to me.
not really following this thread ( 
) but if I cancel a scan from the popup, and then close the popup, and then right click to show last popup, then the mini-scan window pops up as expected, so that should be a popup ;D
… and yeah, the OP’s first post makes no bloody sense, as he wants to resume a scan that he stopped, not a scan that he paused, explaining why he gets, as expected, a scan cancelled message when clicking on resume. You can only resume a scan that you paused ;D
edit: may be the OP should install Avast a sixth time?
Exactly, stopping a scan closes the log report for it also at the point that scan was stopped. So there is no point for a resumption, had he selected Pause, then there would/should have been the ability to Resume.
Opened the avast Scan Computer section, Started a Quick Scan, closed the avastUI and the scan in progress pop-up appeared as expected, image1 (note the Resume option).
I closed this scan in progress pop-up, I opened the avastUI and low and behold the Scan was still paused with Resume button available/active.
I pressed Resume and guess what, the scan resumed, image3. I stopped the Scan and it was concluded no resume option as expected and the log had been closed for that scan with only a fraction of my normal Quick scan completed, image4.
So all in all everything working as expected.
Hi David,
Thank for trying. Can you do just as I am saying plz…
- Start a quick Scan or full scan from GUI and close UI.
- A pop up will be shown showing scan progress…Right?
- Stop the scan from the pop… And close the pop up or let it close itself.
- Then right click on avast icon and click last popup shown…
I think it should a popup which will showing Scan/Cancelled…(if I am not wrong)
But its showing me this…(see screnshot notice nothing is written there like Running, paused or stopped)
Once you STOP the Scan its STOPPED! you cant resume a stopped scan. You can only resume a paused scan! There is nothing wrong with the GUI. When you click “show last popup” it shows the last popup but since you stopped the Scan you cant resume it!
Hope I made it clear… ;D
Did as indicated and the last pop up said running and the scan resumed and finished with no stop.
Tell me the message does not say “run” “stopped” “paused”, but when you open is the scan itself running?
Maybe your computer is lagging due to the scan? Being you are closing it out and continuing a different task? I thought I would mention that as a possibility. I can’t tell if the system having a problem due to lack of system info but its just a thought. That would be the first thing I would think, second thing I would try is to see if Avast! would finish without closing the UI and seeing if it completes.
Dear then see the screenshot I stopped the scan and Resume button is still there…Can u tell me the purpose of resume button there???
