769349 2009-04-29 02:46:00 Hi guys,
I was helping someone with their laptop today and ran Avast! The result was clean but it showed some files that it was "unable to scan".
HP laptop running Vista. The files seemed to be some that were in Documents and Settings and are archived.
They didn't appear to be causing any problems and I was wondering if it was just a "Vista thing"?
Is it ok to ignore them?

Cheers LL :confused:

769351 2009-04-29 02:55:00 Might be due to what scan mode was selected - basic to thorough. kahawai chaser (3545)

Cheers LL
