Tried to run Ad-Aware tonight on Full System Scan and it keeps coming to a grinding halt half way through. It did let me do a Smart System Scan. Any suggestions as to what's wrong? Jeanette x

Ok, I tried restarting my computer - no joy. Uninstalled Ad-Aware and then down loaded it again. It's still getting stuck in exactly the same place. Any more suggestions?

Jeanette Have you cleared out your internet files, cookies etc as per Judy's exellent advice? This may solve the problem. If not then try running it in 'Safe Mode'. Bob

Sorry I haven't got back sooner - got thrown off the computer by teenager! lol Yes it does sometimes slow down when doing a deep scan but it just isn't moving anywhere. When I click Ctrl+Alt+Delete it shows as not responding. Bob - yes I've cleared my cookies and temp internet files. Never been brave enough to run it in safe mode yet! lol Dennis and Vivienne - Thanks for the tip on the Microsoft antispyware. I'll give it a try in the morning. Thanks everyone

Bob's suggestion to run the PC in Safe Mode is a good one.....whatever is hanging Adaware and keeping it from running will be turned off and will allow the scan to complete.... Judy :)
