Hello, I am using Avast Premier 2016 and whenever I start a scan (drive, removable disk) from the right click menu option, a window appears when it starts scanning…but if I close it, I can’t go back to the scan window to stop it…how can I do that?? plz, help…
Update to the latest version (17.4.2294): https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=201729.0
I installed the new premier version too…that didn’t help either
it just says scan running but can not stop it anyway
Ofcourse you can’t go back if you close the window.
You CLOSED it, you should minimize it.
that’s too bad…that should be an option too…to run the scan in the background and be able to get back into the window again to stop it or whatever…too bad…anyways thanks for the reply…
Whilst I may be stating the obvious, but did you try clicking on the avastUI > Other scans that has RUNNING in the UI window (image you attached) ?
I mention this as some time ago I had a scan running (I minimised it) for me just opening the UI brought up the minimised scan. This could well be different as you say you closed the window.
It is not bad at all.
Minimize the window and the scan will continue in the background.
You can’t expect typing something e.g. notepad if you closed it.
clicking on the avast UI and then the custom scan just shows the types of scans that are available…it doesn’t show the ones that are running…also, minimizing is one option, but I’d rather it stay in the system tray as a background process than stay minimized…
There is no problem.
