Web archives

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I am trying Avast out. I have Web Shield activated but it does not seem to be scanning archives. I can download infrcted archives and Avast doesnt make a peep. Once the archive is downloaded and I scan it with Avast, then Avast reports it is infected.

Is there something I have to change in settings so it notifies me when the archive is downloaded?

Thanks

We will need more information to be able to help you:

  • Which OS are you using? Is it up to date?
  • What avast! version and VPS file (virus database) number?
  • Do you use a firewall? Which one?
  • Do you use any other proxy tool (like annonimizers)?
  • Do you have any other antivirus installed in your system?
  • Any other security programs that could interfere?
