| 773875 | 2009-05-14 17:29:00 | I prefer to scan my PC when I go to bed but if Avast finds a threat it stops scanning and waits for you to select an action. As I have 200+GB to scan, it takes a while. Can Avast 4.8 free be configured so that it will scan and log threats so that the threats could be dealt with later? Please explain how. TIA |

| 773877 | 2009-06-11 17:52:00 | Thanks pctek Sorry for the delay in replying. Avast free is very limited. I'm going to have to think of another way, may be get the Avast pro version. Many Thanks |
