User Reviews of the "avshadow.exe"

  • SAFErating from user wingmaster (Variant: 300470)

    AvShadow.exe is Avira's own implementation of the Shadow Copy present in Windows Vista and 7. This service allows Avira's antivirus to scan files that are locked by creating a shadow copy of the file. This allows the antivirus to scan the file but does not interfere with any process still modifying the orignal file.
