How to locate files Avast was "unable to scan"?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I have just added Avast Mac Security 2015 yesterday. Some of the files it reports it is unable to scan but I don’t see how to take a look at those files and consider deleting them if I don’t need them. I only see it giving me a number. Is there some place I can go to find the files it noted were unscannable? Every antivirus I’ve had before would typically list them for me. Avast seems only to list the paths of virus detections. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place?

also is it normal for it to only be through with 3 percent of a scan of an external drive i use for Time machine after 10 hours? i think I’ll reformat that partition and put a new time machine thing on it and be done with it. I can’t take a week scanning the drive. It said 3 percent after 2 hours and then after 10 hours. It might have still said 3 percent 20 hours later on that partition and it was pathetically slow even on simple .rtf files when scanning a time machine partition on an external drive (not slow on regular partitions or the internal drive). Also I am having problems reading the captcha to post this.

How do I handle files that avast! can’t scan? https://blog.avast.com/2014/02/28/how-do-i-handle-files-that-avast-cant-scan/

Since your questions are Mac related i suggest using avast for Mac forum section as we know nada about Mac :wink:

sorry, I didn’t see that one was way down the list. Thanks for pointing it out. I have now found that forum. I can’t see how to delete my post here though.

I would just leave it, it will drop down the chronological list soon enough.

The reason I say leave it is to do with captcha as removing this topic would mean you have to carry on with the captcha validation until you have three posts again.
