Ok, I've got the report file, what should I do with it?īTW there's nothing in it, here is the block of one of the mailboxes, the largest, the others are identical:

I don't see any point in scanning them each time. On a side note, sorry for repeating, the scanning of mailboxes should be only optional. I remove all the spam anyway and the mailboxes should be "clean" of viruses. Oh, of course I don't remember what is in the mailboxes, I don't know if it could be a particular attachment or something. If I leave the files in place, AVAST creates other files the next scanning passage and removes them when it finishes, leaving the "leftovers" there. I don't have any problem in manually removing the files. The first time I manually removed the files thinking of a glitch but I can reproduce the same behaviour any time so I thought to post it here. It happened to me to stop the scanner and then I got those files in the "_avast_", that apparently aren't removed upon scanner stopping. Not that big considering mail archives can be easily some Giga large. I haven't seen what happens with the AVAST screen server scanning enabled.Īt some point of the scanning AVAST meets my Thunderbird mailboxes, that are inside a "mail" folder of about 170MB.

I don't do anything special, I either run the "standard scan" on C: or the "scan" via Explorer extension (don't know if they are exactly the same).
