Did a custom scan on my laptop. Came back with a list of files that could not be scanned. Reasons file path cannot be found, archive file password protected and reached end of file. Apply button is disabled and cannot select individual files and any kind of action, should I be concerned?
These are just error messages the files are not harmful, they are password protected so they cannot do
any harm to your computer.
Came back with a list of files that could not be scanned. [b]Reasons file path cannot be found,[/b]how can you Select action on files that can not be found ::)
files that can not be scanned (for whatever reason avast give) is this forums most frequently asked question (think there have been 3 or 4 this week) so lots of info if you forum search
avast is a antivirus program and will only take action on infected files… infected files are given a malware name when detected …this is just a scan error report, an normal
in Your case …files not found error …is usually gone if you reboot and scan again
password protected files are usually from programs that protect there files
It still would be nice to be able to disable these results. Happens way too often now and never used to.
i have suggested a log change in avast 2014 … time will tell if they do
