I have an Asus laptop win 7 64 bit.
I am using Avast free 8.0.1483.
I have set an automatic quick scan at 20.00 every day.
Sometimes the scan does not start the meter stays at 0% and the speed stays at 0 bytes per second.
If I stop the scan and start it manually it works fine.
Have other people seen this?
My scheduled scan work fine. I do a quick scan once a week when I know my machine will be on. If my computer is not on I will catch it the next week.
So you may want to reconsider scan frequency. With all of the resident shields the need to run daily scans is greatly diminished.
That being said try a repair. Control Panel>Uninstall>double click “avast”>click “repair”>reboot.
