scanner status: infected

while doing a thorough scan on the hard drives and all folders including archive files, at one point the

Current Scanner Status

goes from [i]running[/i] to [i]infected[/i]. What does this mean?

I think that means it’s found an infected file?
I could be wrong…

BooGIE is right…
Are you using the Home or the trial (Professional) version?
Didn’t appear a message saying that avast found a virus?
