Hi,
I have been years long member of avast free edition. This is the FIRST time I have encountered that the boot-time scan is not working. I have scheduled for a scan as my cpu usage is 100% which is most probably due to a virus which I want to fix. I have checked the places to scan; “All Hardisks, etc…” As scheduled, the avast boot-time scan appears after the windows booting up page. However, the boot-time scan just get stuck for a few seconds and the window just boots up as usual.
The boot-time scan appears as "SCAN C:windows ultimate: ". And as said, after a few seconds, the window boots up like nothing has happened.
I have tried un-installing Avast and downloading it fresh from Avast.com and then installing it again. Please help! this 100% cpu usage is shitting me out and i want to fix it by having a boot-time scan.
Thank you!
