I've been using Avast as my new anti-virus for a few months now at the recommendation of folks here at Computer Forums.
So far, so good.....However, one thing I've noticed that I wanted to ask a question about is that whenever I do full system scans, an error message comes up at the end of the scan that says:
"Some Files Could Not Be Scanned"
I will click on the button it shows to expand the message and it shows literally hundreds if not thousands of files that were not scanned. Next to each file it reads:
"Error: The file cannot be accessed by the system (1920)"
I'm wondering what this means and if it's something I should be worried about. When the full system scan is running and I occasionally check up on it (at different intervals...like 20% complete, 70% complete, 89% complete, etc.), it shows 0 files have been infected. But my concern is with those files that could not be scanned. It's great that I show 0 files infected for the ones that are scanned, but what about those that are unscanned?
Thanks for everyone's help! Again!!
