Avast scan taking forever

I am having issues that i can’t find a setting for , i am using the Free Avast and i am having a issue with my pictures , every time i open a folder i have pictures in Avast seems to scan it , so it takes forever for the pictures to show up as it has to finish the scan , i can not find any setting to stop it from scanning My Pictures EVERY TIME i open a folder , this is not a scheduled scan or a manual scan , it decides on its own to scan the folder EVERY time i open it to view my pictures (the orange/white icon in the taskbar spins every time i open a picture folder) , when it scans the contents of the folder shows blank till it finishes the scan then the pitures load so i can view them , this takes several seconds to a minute to do this depending on how many pictures are in the folder , it is very annoyingIs there any way to stop it from scanning a folder EVERY time it is opened ??Any help would be appreciated !

Whenever I run a full system scan of my hard drive, Avast 4.8 Home Edition stops at a file with a potential virus. It has a very long file name with a lot of random numbers for most of it, but the first characters are always “EasyPDF”. I always say to move the file and add the “.vir” extension. I then go to the moved folder and delete that file.I’ve tried searching my hard drive for any files that start with “EasyPDF” and can’t find any. How can I find where this file resides and get rid of it forever? DavidR July 3, 2008, 5:25pm 2 There is no point in moving and then finding and deleting it almost instantly, effectively the same as choosing delete.Deletion isn’t really a good first option (you have none left), ‘first do no harm’ don’t delete, send virus to the chest and investigate.What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?Check the avast! Log Viewer (right click the avast ‘a’ icon), Warning section, this contains information on all avast detections. But you’ve deleted it, how will you find it? ???To be sure you’re clean, I suggest:Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.Clean your temporary files.Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on. If avast does not detect it, you can try DrWeb CureIT! instead.Use SUPERantispyware, MBAM or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is

A folder to open system May 15, 2010, 10:08pm 10 I have really no idea sorry…not even sure the scanning is responsible for the folders opening slowly. You’re sure everything is back to normal if you stop Avast? you can try that by stopping the services (in computer management)… system May 15, 2010, 10:10pm 11 OK i just tried to open the same folder again and it seems to be opening fine now , it seems that once the folder finally opens , the next time i open it , it seems to open like it should , i tried another folder with pictures and it did the same thing , the first time i open it , it takes forever , then if i close it , and either open another folder then go back or just try to open it again , it opens fine , so hopefully the re-install fixedThank you for your help !! system May 15, 2010, 10:12pm 12 you’re welcome. If that happens again don’t hesitate to try stopping avast services to make sure if it’s it or not DavidR May 15, 2010, 10:19pm 13 It is probably worth running a Full System Scan a couple of times as this also builds/populates the persistent cache. Once built/populated it speeds on-demand scans also in subsequent scans.See avast blog article - system May 15, 2010, 10:26pm 14 OK i will do a Full System Scan right now , i did have to go to EVERY folder
