Hi,
With a right-click on a suspicious file Avast will scan it for viruses. A windows will show it’s progress but when it’s finished it just closes and doesn’t show the result. Where is the log for this scan?
tks
There isn’t any.
Check the option “Show results of Explorer Extension” on the first page of program settings. By default, the right-click scanner shows something only when an infected file is detected.
Right click the ‘a’ blue icon.
Choose Program properties.
Common tab.
Show results for Explorer extension.
Oopss… Igor posted before…
That is the whole point of the avast quick scan (ashQuick.exe), it does a quick scan, if it is clean the window closes and allows you to get on with your work. If it is infected all hell breaks loose and you will know as there is a visual and audible alert.
You can of course enable the"Show results of Explorer Extension" as mentioned, but when the scan finishes you then have to close the window manually so not so quick.
Ok, thanks for all the responses. Sounds very reasonable.
May I suggest that this entry be logged in the Log Viewer (even if there is no Window popup)? And I would also suggest that the boot-time scan be placed in the same place. It makes reviewing easier and comprehensive. I don’t always remember all the files I’ve checked…
