hi,
at what exact registry entry does the scan stick? as a workaround try this setting: ad-aware > settings > scanning > click (cross) deep archive scanning Casey -------------------- Think your computer is Infected? Then please perform a scan with Ad-Aware 8.1 - if this does not solve the problem then read this topic and follow the instructions. HJT logs go in the "Hijack This Forum ONLY".

I tried the work around and it still stalled on the deep scan. Here is an image of where it stalled. And now I see I can upload an image for my message.

Hi all
 pls give this a try... Run CCleaner ( hit the 'Registry' button on the left hand side ) before you start an AAW-scan. If it still not works > defragment your registry. Let me know what happens. Cheerio Raziel  add. This post has been edited by Raziel v. Nosgoth: Aug 30 2008, 06:23 AM -------------------- requiescat in pacem

I having the same problem as above. XP, SP3. Runs OK with smart scan stops at Deep Scan (CLSID)
Mod.Edit / question/ Raziel Hi what AAW version is installed , Free , Plus or Pro ? Sorry about the no details. AAW 2008 Free. It runs fine on my laptop. My desk top is the one I'm having problems. I'm also running at about 15% full on my 80gig HD. I have deleted some programs. Yes I will be building a bigger HD This post has been edited by squatch97402: Oct 29 2008, 08:25 PM |
