avast! - help: virus scanning |
Start and progress of the scan
After you select what and how should be scanned, you can start the scan using the Start scan button. If you want to stop a running scan, use the Stop scan button, or you can temporarily suspend it by the Pause button. The following information will be displayed during the scan:
Virus database
The version and release date of the virus database used for the scan.
Tested files
The number of files that have been checked so far.
Current scanner status
Current status of the scanner - it could be e.g. running, paused, etc.
When the scan is finished, the results will be displayed, showing how many files were scanned, which files were not scanned (and why), etc.
If a virus is found during the scan, a warning window will be displayed where you can specify how to deal with the virus. The possible options are discussed in the chapter Removing viruses.
