Some files could not be scanned

I was careless and just randomly clicked a link. I decided to scan my computer and got this message for the first time ever. “Some files could not be scanned. Error archive i password protected”

I attach a screenshot of the files that could not be scanned. Is this something i need to take care off and if not why did this happen this time and not all the other times ive scanned the pc?

hey jesper644 this has beeen ask many times before o the forum an the answer is the same. files that can not be scannes means that avast can’t open the file so it can be scanned. no need to be worried about.
