think i’ll take posy’s approach.
i was wrong, it wasnt scanning, so i dis as ya suggested BB. it got to like 40thousand something files scanned n cut out! grrrrrr so it wont let me finish the virus scan. in them files it did scan it didnt pick up anything at all! so gonna try uninstalling msn again :? :? :?
cheers for help bb
Dont boot in safe mode try booting in ‘diagnostic mode’.
great idea anubis!!! now all i need is to know how to do it :D :D
start> run> type msconfig and press enter, now select the radio button thats says ‘diagnostic boot’ click on apply then click ok, when you are prompted to reboot click OK.
Now try to run your av scanner.
To start in normal mode just follow the above instructions but select the radio button that says ‘normal start up’.
Is your AV client Norton by any chance?
nope tis McAffee
will try that. thanx
i’ve tried everything suggested and still nothing!
it wont complete scans (in either normal,safe or diagnostic modes)
it’s still conking out and slow…. i still have no idea!!!
