The system cannot find the path specified (3) for avast files??

After an avast scan, both of my computers are showing up this in the scan results:

c:\program files\avast software\avast\defs\13022700\algo.dll Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)
c:\program files\avast software\avast\defs\13022700\aswcmnbs.dll Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)
c:\program files\avast software\avast\defs\13022700\aswcmnis.dll Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)
c:\program files\avast software\avast\defs\13022700\aswcmnos.dll Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)
c:\program files\avast software\avast\defs\13022700\aswengin.dll Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)
c:\program files\avast software\avast\defs\13022700\aswfidb.dll Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)
c:\program files\avast software\avast\defs\13022700\aswrep.dll Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)
c:\program files\avast software\avast\defs\13022700\aswscan.dll Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)

Should I be worried? It just happened all of a sudden. It never was like that before! I even looked through the old scan logs.

This computer is Windows Vista 32-bit, with Avast free and Malwarebytes free.
The other computer is Windows 7 64-bit, with Avast free and Malwarebytes free.

Not sure what other information I should tell you to help figure this out though. Just ask.

Thanks.

No - Nothing to worry about, those are are files in old virus definitions folders and avast is doing some housecleaning to keep the size used on the hard disk to a minimum. This just happens to have occurred between the time you started the scan and it reaching that old defs folder.

Thanks for the reply.

So, do I delete them or just leave them?

how can you delete files not found. :wink:
files not found scan error is usually gone if you reboot and scan again

Oh okay yeah, I didn’t really know if I could or not, asked just in case.
And yeah after restarting the computer avast doesn’t find those files.

Thanks for your answer!
