System cannot find Avast files during scan

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

I did a full system scan today, using Avast 7.0.1456. The report said (my translation of the error message):

Error: System cannot find path specified (3)
c:\program files\alwil software\avast5\defs\12080401\algo.dll
c:\program files\alwil software\avast5\defs\12080401\aswcmnbs.dll

c:\program files\alwil software\avast5\defs\12080401\aswscan.dll
c:\program files\alwil software\avast5\defs\12080401\uiext.dll

Can someone explain what this means? Thank you.

it mean avast have done a cleaning in the avast defs folder…and i guess there is a reference to those file somwhere, but when the scanner arrive they are no longer there…something like that :wink:

if you reboot and scan again the error should be gone…nothing to worry about

Yes, after a reboot this error message did not appear. Thank you.
