you’re right. so maybe it’s better to do this:
after the scan is completed avast must show a detailed
report showing which files/directories couldn’t be read.
(stopping the scan without giving detailed informations
is useless: what should do a user do when “5= access denied”
is showed on the screen ?)
then avast could ask the user what to do:
- skip that files and stop the scan?
- let the user try to fix permission and rescan only that files?
- try to fix permissions by itself ?
in the last case avast when run by an administrator could:
- save permissions
- add additional permission to be able to scan files
- restore original permissions
I 've seen that norton skips c:\system volume information,
it could be useful to see how other av work.
comments ?
