testing to generate the report -> no exclusion -> scanning completed -> no temp files left -> skipped contents (due to scanner settings) in the report. exclusion -> no scanning -> no temp files leftĬ. no exclusion -> scanning cancelled -> temp files leftī. Otherwise I would not say it is a joke (the irony to generate huge temp file to skip their content) either suggest to exclude them as default.Ī. The files "skipped" are reported with NO EXCLUSION set (and NO blocker either). The exclusion I set is on the whole "mail" folder so nothing is scanned inside. On a side note, I may be stupid but it seemed obvious to me that when I was asked to generate the report file I DID NOT exclude the mailbox, otherwise I could not generate any report on it. When somebody complains of it you tell them you aren't having any problem. Now let people fill their disks with "_avast4_\unp*.tmp files". You say the issue doesn't exist? Ok, fine. I am seeing temp files more than 100MB left in _avast_. Ok, I am not paying for AVAST but in the same time I am not payed to testing, bug finding, reporting and such. Last thing: it is a little annoying when you are told between the lines that the issue you are reporting is not a flaw in the software but something wrong in you. Expecially given the difficulties I am seeing. So it seems to me the scanning of the mailboxes is just a waste of resources/time. Incoming mail is already scanned, even if an attachement is executed the "standard shield" should stop it if infected. So what, can't I receive attachments? Those attachment are relatively small documents and images, some zipped, not a whole DVD content.Ībout skipping files, as I said above it would be much smarter to NOT scan MBOX files at all instead of decompressing, extracting, whatever it is done and then skip the contents. In those folders there are my mail and some messages do have attachments. I have a relatively small "mail" folder, the boxes are compacted, spam deleted, trash deleted, I've got only incoming and sent folders. Even if there were other 100 people who come here and say they aren't having any problem with it, still it doens't mean much. I am happy you are not having the same issue but, you see, that is not particularly meaningful. Simply because if I am having the issue it means other people can have it as well and IMHO it should be addressed. Now you may wonder why I am posting here if my local issue is "solved". I say it again: mail excluded, no more files left in _avast_. In order to not keep on manually deleting those files I changed AVAST options so now the "mail" folder is excluded. AVAST scanning mailboxes, interrupted, I saw the temp files not removed.ģ.
