Avast full scan stuck

The scan feature is basically unusable for me, right now. Previous times it happened when processing different things, but I noticed all of them start with the letters "SVC". On restarting the scan it stopped when processing something called "SVC. Right now, the scan has stopped with the "Processing file" indicator showing "SVC. This is even after I tried updating to the latest version and definitions. I'm using the AntiVirus Free program, and from what I see it's stuck on 'Viruses and other Malware'.I am able to pause and resume, stop and restart the scan, but the same thing keeps happening over and over again. The scan appears to be running, the run time counter keeps counting, but the scanning speed drops over time and the number of tested files/folders as well as the amount of data tested remain the same. It doesn't freeze or crash, it just gets to a certain point and does not scan any further. Whenever I try a quick or full scan, Avast begins scanning normally, proceeds testing files and folders for about a minute and then stops.

If you are running macOS Mojave (10.14) or higher and have installed Avast Premium Security, Avast Security, or Avast Cleanup Premium, you need to enable Full Disk Access on your Mac to ensure your Avast product works correctly.Full Disk Access permission is a privacy feature introduced in macOS Mojave (10.14) that prevents some applications from accessing your important data, such as Mail, Messages, TimeMachine, and Safari files. This means you need to manually grant permission for certain applications to access these protected areas of your Mac. In earlier versions of macOS (10.13 and lower), this permission is automatically granted during installation of your Avast product. Follow the instructions below to enable full disk access on macOS Mojave (10.14) or higher for your Avast product(s) on your Mac.If Full Disk Access is not enabled, your Avast product is unable to scan all areas of your Mac. This means Avast Premium Security and Avast Security cannot fully protect your Mac against malware and other network security threats, and Avast Cleanup Premium can only scan a limited portion of your system folders and hard drive, potentially resulting in unnecessary clutter remaining on your Mac.Enable Full Disk AccessFollow the gif or steps below to enable Full Disk Access for your Avast product on your Mac:Open System Preferences ▸ Security & Privacy. Select the Privacy tab. Select Full Disk Access, then click the lock icon. Use your Touch ID or enter your system administrator credentials and click Unlock. Click +. Click Applications, then select your Avast product, and click Open. If prompted, click Quit Now.
