You can start Avast from either the system tray or programs menu. In the former, type S, wait for the memory scan to run its course, tab to the area where you can hit the space bar to check areas to scan such as C, tab to start scan and hit that button. ----- Original Message ----- From: Morey Worthington To: JFW Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 1:38 PM Subject: AVAST Directions Hello all, I have installed the Avast program but cannot get it to scan. I get the directions on "what to do" but cannot get to the menus to choose what to scan and so on. I get to the menus for choosing settings but no farther. Where might I be going wrong? Is there a directions file for Jaws? Thanks. Morey PS..If anyone wants to answer this off list, to keep list moving, please feel free to do so.
