"1) the PC freezes, or avast awaits a user/response ?
By freezes i mean it announces the virus, stops scanning,a nd awaits my instructions
"2) Why would you want to deep-scan mpegs at all ?
they can’t presently be malicious…
I don’t, no rational person would want to. i simply selected thourough scan, all hard disks, and avast decided to do it on it’s own
"try setting the scan options properly…
Ah… I would if I know how… any clue
TIA
