??? As I use avast in console mode , I meet a problem with some files names.
As I want to scan folder : /mnt/hda1/my files
I write avast -a -c -t=A /mnt/hda1/my\ files
Avast answers : /mnt/hda1/my does not exist
\files dos not exist
It seems there is a bug with long names :
Have you been reported this problem ?
Won’t this work?
-a -c -t=A “/mnt/hda1/my files”
or
-a -c -t=A “/mnt/hda1/my files/”
no , it does not work :
/mnt/hda1/my [scan error : no such file or directory]
files/ [scan error : invalid argument]
very strange isn’t it ? ???
Will someone propose me a solution ?
if it is a bug , Avast should fix it 
“avast” is a double-wrapper around avastcmd-derived scanner, not directly an executable application.
the “flaw” was a consequence of $* expansion in its wrapper script, the app itself is OK.
change the last line of the script (/usr/lib/avast4workstation/bin/wrapper-script.sh) from:
$AVAST_PREFIX/bin/$programname $*
to
$AVAST_PREFIX/bin/$programname “$@”
thanks for the report, pupusse!

very fine !!! it works
now the long-named files are scanned in console mode
Many thanx
