2 virus scans at the same time?
And you have only one av installed?
Did you schedule things or did you start a scan manually?
Please attach a screenshot so we can get a idea of what is happening.
Avast can run more than one scheduled scan, it has had that functionality for some time. Though why anyone would want to do that I don’t know.
Just choose which one you want to run and disable the other scans Schedule - avastUI > Scan (select scan) Settings > Scheduling - uncheck the schedule.
[b]The scan is unnamed called unnamed and I never scheduled that it keeps on popping up I will try and get a screenshot of it.

Did you have an AV (antivirus) on your machine in the past, or have one on the machine when you bought it that you never uninstalled when you put Avast on it?
[b]No I did not have one at all other then Avast

A screen shot would help. How is your machine acting otherwise?
What is your OS?
What version of Avast are you running?
What product of Avast do you have?
What other security software do you have now and in the past? In the past, how did you uninstall it? The vendor’s uninstaller tool or another way?
Gremlins @work. It happens all the time…
[b]Yes it does in my house all the time the only thing that is hap[peniong and I can live with is that after a scan the scan page pop’s up
Ren[/b]
GUI>Scan>select the scan>(scan) Settings>untick “show report”.
I doubt that would stop the scan page popping up as this is for the generation of a text based report in the C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report folder for that scan.
[b]I don’t even have that on my scan page this is what I have
Ren[/b]
On right side of your pic you will see Settings … what do you see there?
See screenshot.
[b]Nothing is ticked that I can tell and I have been all through it
Ren [/b]
The option suggested to un-tick ‘Generate report file’ was unlikely to have worked anyway as it isn’t a screen based option - which is basically confirmed in that you didn’t have that option enabled.
Is the scan, which is acting up, listed?
[b]Yes it is
Ren[/b]
Which scan is acting up?
Please provide more info, OS, avast version, other security software you have now or ever had?
In uninstalled how was it removed?
Getting information piecemeal is not good.
