Re: Scan get stuck at 98% and dont continue

@ greet,

            This is a known issue and there is a workaround. Unfortunately I lost my Link to it during our (New) Community upgrade. Normally when this problems presents itself, it basically hangs and then progresses to finish the scan. Please know that it is not a (Rootkit) It simply is actually (Scanning for Rootkits).

              I am certain a Fellow Moderator will pick up this thread ,and assist you.

             Unfortunately, I have to apologise for being incapable of doing so at the present time. At least you are more aware of what actually is occurring.

                I found the Work Around...

VirusScan stops scanning at 98% or 99% complete

                  Please try the following, and post back your results

Edited; To add Work-Around

All the very Best,

Hi

Please restart the computer before you start a Quick Scan to verify the Workaround.
