hello. i got avira! free edition yesterday, and have done a boot scan.
my question is this: i wanted to scan a program i got off the internet, so i right clicked, ‘scan with avira!’. it did a scan, but then the box just dissapeared, without any kind of results screen. does this mean everything was fine?
thanks
I take it you mean avast! and not avira ?
I assume so, since this is the avast support forums and avast has a boot-time scan option and I know of no others that does this.
The ashQuick.ese context menu scan is designed to be quick so by default it doesn’t show any results if the scan was clean, if it was infected, all hell would break loose and you would receive an audible and visual alert.
If you want to see the results, right click the avast icon, select Program Settings, Common, and tick the ‘Show results of Explorer Extension.’
yes, avast of course, sorry i used to have avira. thankyou very much! :-*
No problem, welcome to the forums.
Stick around and browse the forums, especially the sticky topics at the top of each of the forums, not to mention the avast help file. They provide a wealth of information to help you get the best from avast.
