Today I did a smart scan and noticed that 3 things were only scanned for. Seems for some reason the outdated applications scan is gone from smart scan even though it is installed and this was working the day before and even before that. Not sure what has changed.
In that period nothing was installed or changed. Except probably avast updates.
Does anyone else have this?
Repair Avast:
I kind of wonder though why updates keep breaking smart scan. In a short time this is the second time the smart scan broke, first time they fixed it with a patch.
Makes me question reliability to a degree. This install of Windows is only been 3 weeks with avast on it, so I doubt there is something wrong with the pc itself, seeing I didn’t install nor browse that much.
A second post, tried repair but didn’t change or fix anything. I figure this is a bug. And this happened probably after an avast update.
You can submit a bug report in “About Avast”. (Add a link to this thread)
Report has been sent. No number or anything to follow up though. I kind of wish there was a diagnostic built in avast to check if the shields are working and working properly.
I’ve been meaning to ask. Does the repair need network connection or does it correct itself even without?
I can’t seem to find the send logs in the avast menu. Did that get removed?
Sent it through the download avast support application. File ID: OXHZZ
Ok, I forwarded it, let’s see…
Now I’m 100% certain it’s a bug seeing that there is another thread up right now that complains about the same problem.
Hello, it is not a bug - it was removed on purpose. Software updater step was temporary removed because it caused troubles. It will be back, when issue is fixed. But thank you for letting us know 
Thanks for the update. I thought it was a big because the Intel laptops I have still had the updater in the smartscan.
