I recently updated to Avast! 8 (free edition) and now every time I want to scan a single file (by right-clicking it and selecting “Scan [file]”) Avast scans all my hard disks (and it also opens a completely empty box titled “SCAN” and some progress bars in the right corner). I noticed that you could select a default scan type (Avast UI - security - antivirus) and so i set “Select folder to scan” as my default scan type, but when I tried the scan-option again, Avast started scanning all my hard disks as before and it also made like 25 predefined scan types (all named “? ? ? ?”) in the type-list. I’d like the scan option (after right clicking) to only scan the file i right-clicked and, if possible, to get rid of the empty box. I don’t understand what i’m doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
