curious message from Avast

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello,
this moment I get the following curious message from Avast during a complete check.
Translated: “Test could not be started - a file cannot be produced, if it exists already”.

What shall this say to me?

What exact version of avast ?
What OS/SP ?
Any other security (related) software installed ? (or did you have)
Did it ran the scan earlier without problems ?
Already tried a repair of avast ?

Hello Eddy,

Version 150622-3
Win7 /64 Pro
no other security software
this appears the first time
no repair until now

and the scan went on without malware messages

Version 150622-3

That is your virus definitions version number not the program version, avast Pro/IS/Premium (latest regular release version is 201510.2.2218) ?

Upps - my actual version is 201510.2.2215

I would say the first task is to install the latest regular release version 2015.10.2.2218 as there would be little benefit in trying to resolve an issue in an old version.

done …

So then after installing the latest release do you still have the same problem?

Not yet; maybe after the next complete check … :frowning:
