When Avast does a scan at night, I started getting the message “Some files could not be scanned” with a very long list of items that show the status as “Error: Archive is password protected (42056).” Many of them have install_reader 10 as part of the file name. Is this a result of downloading the latest version of Adobe Reader? This list is there now every morning. What should I do?
files that can not be scanned are just that, it does not mean they are infected
avast is just reporting that it could not scan and the reason why
Ignore it.
