"we were unable scan some files"- after scan

When the avg finished the scan solves this: no threats find but  we were unable to scan some files. How can i  to see these files?

Hello Nagy,
We are sorry to hear that you are facing this trouble.
We will certainly check and help you.
For better clarity, please share the screenshot of the scan result that shows some files were unable to scan.
If your scan setting on Packers and Archives is 'Scan only common installers' or 'Don't scan archives', it would not scan all the archive files, which significantly increases the scan duration, which may result in this error message.
If you would like to scan all the Archive files, you may need to enable 'Scan all archives'.
To configure the scan settings in AVG AntiVirus, please refer the below article.

Thank you.

Dear ari Shankar

Thank you for sharing the necessary screenshot, Nagy.
If the Zip/Rar file was not scanned in your previous scan, it would be scan by the new settings, you have applied.
I request you to run the scan again and check the status.
Thank you.
