Smart Scan has recently freezing on network issues/threats during scan

Recently, the smart scan in Avast Premier will stick on 80%. It completes all tasks except network issues. It doesn’t finish. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it. The issue has remained throughout the re-installation.

Do Repair Avast:

  1. Avast GUI → Settings → Troubleshooting
  2. Click on ‘REPAIR APP’.
  3. Follow instructions.
  4. Reboot.

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, I tried the “Repair App” before moving on to the uninstall and fresh install. Thank you again for the help!

Have you restarted the system?

Yes, I have restarted the system from the repair attempt and the reinstall. I do not leave my computer on constantly. I only turn it on when it used and shut down once all work is complete.

There is a difference between shutting it down and starting it back up and doing a Restart.
