I ran avast for the first time today and the error message I received afterwards was there were 21 items it was not able to scan. Why was this? And, how do I get the items scanned?
It is normal to have some files that are not scanned
quote: DavidR
Files that can’t be scanned are just that, not an indication they are suspicious/infected, just unable to be scanned.
Many programs (usually security based ones) password protect their files for legitimate reasons such as AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy, there are others (and avast doesn’t know the password or have any way of using it even if it did know it).
@ missmelaniemitchell
Some common examples of the files not able to be scanned the reason they can’t be scanned and their location will help ?
