Avast Denied Full Entry On A Scan

[Almendros]

I have, malwarebytes.....Superantispyware...Avast. These are all free programmes. When I scan with the first two, they are always complete. However with Avast,every time, I get 'Some files could not be scanned'.This leads to abut 6 screens saying 'Error. archive protected'. I just counted the last scan and there are over 90 lines but about a third could have the word 'languages' in it.
Looking in the settings I see the scan PUP is off (whatever that does) So I changed it to on, but the same result. Has anybody else had this problem?
Thanks for any ideas.

'PUP' is 'potentially unwanted program'. Most PUPs aren't major threats to your computer but they can be annoyances and slow things down (e.g. by installing toolbars that you don't want).

Avast, however, has simply been finding some files which are password-protected and reporting that it can't access them. It's perfectly normal and nothing to worry about:

BuenChico, thank you very much for such a quick reply. I was concerned because I thought that if half the prog. wasn't functioning maybe the real time protection wasn't doing it's job either. Thanks Almendros
