Hi

i running the last built of avast 6 under xp sp3 32bit

i have a question

i have folders with a lot of programs *.exe

when i click on this folders and browse these folders , avast 6 file system does not scan all the files inside the folder (and i’m glad)

is it normal ?
can someone check it under xp?

i mean only if i run a program inside these folder , avast scans it

i remember avast 3 i guess , not sure, had a different behavior, it was used to scan all the files…with some system lag

thanks
cheers
