I have windows xp, adaware build 1.06r1, and recently installed explorer 7. While running adaware it found 9 critical objeces but stalled before finishing. I tried several times but appears to stall at the same place in the scan. Does anyone know what is happening? It stalls at:

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{0A438C3B-A487-4C6D-850C-C76CC3... It then trails off the page so I can't read the rest.

I have to X out of Adaware and end the scan without fixing any problems.

My Spybot failed twice as well but my AVG Antivirus didn't pick anything up.

Help?????

There are a number of possible reasons behind this problem. To correct:

* First, update to Build 1.06 and download the latest definition
file if you have not done so.
* Second, it is highly recommended that you run a disk
defragmentation on your computer, then a thorough “Check” or “Scan
Disk” depending on your Windows version. Try scanning in safe mode.
* Third, start Ad-Aware scan from the Windows command line. Do as
follows:
o Click "Start", then "Run". Next, type the text shown below
(including the quotation marks and with the same spacing as
shown) for your version of Ad-Aware SE:
*"C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE
Professional\Ad-Aware.exe" /full +procnuke
"C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Plus\Ad-Aware.exe"
/full +procnuke
"C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE
Personal\Ad-Aware.exe" +procnukep*
o Click “OK”.
o Note: The path above (between the quotes) is the default
location of Ad-Aware SE. If you installed your Ad-Aware to a
different directory, adjust the path accordingly. For
Ad-Aware SE Personal, when the GUI launches, click “Start”,
then “Full System Scan”. Click “Next”, then “OK”.
o When the scan is complete, select “Next”. In the “Scanning
Results” window, select the "Scan Summary" tab. Check the
box next to each "target family" you wish to remove, then
click “Next”, then OK”.
* If you still have problems, 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.
