Hi all, have had V 4.5 for a couple of days, plus build 4.5.523 which came in today, no problems what so ever, just one thing puzzles me. For many months now, every time I did a full scan the results would show “Total files” 56669 “Total folders” 1792 “Size” 5.3G or figures very close to that. I have not installed any programs or saved anything since the last scan a week ago, (except for the Avast update) but when I ran a full scan tonight the results show “Total files” 137915 “Total files” 1756 “Size” 6.0G . Just wondering why the files have more than doubled, or has the new Avast just been working a bit harder. Any ideas, thanks.
Are you sure you used the same settings?
I mean, if you did a scan with archives turned off the first time, and then turned the archives scanning on for the second scan - the size may grow quite a lot.
Or, thinking about it - if you have the scanning of archives turned on, it simply may be the avast! update itself. avast! now supports more archives formats (e.g. CHM) - so it finds more “files” on your disk.
Thank you for the reply igor, yes I have always had “scan archives” turned on, in my last post earlier in the month I asked if archives should be on or off & the opinion seemed to be to leave it “on”. Thanks anyway, just had me curious, BTW love your new home page.
