hi i'm hoping someone can shed a little light on my problem as a novice i
will try and explain as best i can.i scanned my friends pc using one of the
free scan tools which came back laden with results rather than pay for it i
downloaded and ran adaware se,but the problem is after scanning 63,000 files
or so it seemed to pause,always at roughly the same point,and it would say
conditional scan .....busy so i left it thinking it would resume at some
point but with no luck,did this 2-3 times with the same results....tried
uninstalling and re-installing same results and also tried running in safe
mode with the same results,hope this explination helps in some way....thanks
in advance

Windows version?

Do you seek & install updates before each and every scan, even "right out of
the box" new?

At what point does the scan pause?
