nexon 8 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Yes i thoguht that,,,, This is same like boot defragmentation right? Locked files can not defrag or move when OS uses it, so boot defrag after restart pc can move files. And in future it is possible to scan these files? Only scan not copy or overwriting files which are in use. Just only scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,544 Posted May 13, 2022 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2022 If reading from such files is not permitted by the OS, then scanning is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a different message - the archive is corrupted, the file could not be extracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_Style_xd 62 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 ESET could not show this information in yellow, because it confuses any user to think that the antivirus is passing infected files. It could show a warning informing. because I've seen several people asking in the past about these files that cannot be scanned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
