what can I do?I start a ad-aware scan every time the scan goes thru finds 35 objects then locks and I can do no more.

Try this: cancel before the scan reaches the point of stalling -- for example, after 20 objects are detected. Click “Cancel� on your log file. Remove any objects you want and rescan. Again, stop the scan before it reaches the point of stalling and remove any additional objects. Then try a full scan without stopping it. This should work for you now.

Let me know how you make out with that procedure.
