I run Adaware SE at least once per week and sometimes during a full system scan it seems to get stuck scanning IE Favorites. It says it is scanning but it never finishes the scan. I wait and wait but give up and click on Finish. Has this happened to anyone else? What's wrong? thanks for any help

Do you have spybot search and destroy installed

try running ad aware in safe mode...

[anita1973]

Yes, I run Spy Bot too. It works fine. I can try the Adaware in safe mode but I shouldn't have to do that. If anyone has an answer to why it hangs up in scanning IE Favorites I'd sure like to know. thanks

If spybot runs and adaware doesn't, use add and remove to uninstall it and then run disc clean up and re-install it

I had a problem like that with a friends PC.
It turned out to be a file system error, running chkdsk fixed it.

ad aware and for that matter any of your tools...all do a better job in safe mode ...but it should finish running in windows...the reason I asked you to try was to see if it was ad aware itself that was corrupt ...take Keiths advise remove and reinstall it...

Chkdsk found nothing wrong so I uninstalled and re-installed Adaware. This next scan did fine with no hang ups! You all are great! Thanks a bunch!
