minimal resources?
you must have a fancy new box. mine is 2004 era and is lowest on the benchbark scale.
No minimal resources on adds 4hrs to my scanning time. I was asking if you checked again if it is off for your scanning settings.
I saw no such settings when I started the scan. I see no such settings (anymore) when I use Navigation. to browse through what looks like appropriate places it might be in.
features, scan your pc
features, real-time scanning
features, scheduled scanning (off)
general settings and alerts
I did not see a checkbox for this when I started the customscan that I remember. I only saw 1 checkbox, and that was for zip files.
Custom scan Go to Run a scan option and "Customise your scan" and it is at the bottom
Scheduled scan and schedule a scan same option there.
For full scan no such option

this info alone MAY help someone at McA debug the IF you have a .map file you can maybe nail down which function it's in based on the offset.
Try running this file
http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/Mcpreinstall.exe
It resets a few things. Also if above does not help clean your temp and internet temp fles.
I am going to do this after I repartition my computer.
it's worse now, I have more data, and it still crashes. I have 34GB of virrual memory though, but still a 32-bit cpu and OS so apps can't address more than 4GiB of RAM (minus the 512MiB for the video card).
in a nutshell,
if you have big data, BUY A 64-bit BOX WITH LOTS OF RAM.
this may fix the problem.
however, maybe there is a problem in mcods.exe the realtime scanner which dies only on certain files of mine. I would be curious to know which those are.
it crashed again on the 13th. I started on the 10th at about 2am.
Mate this going on too long pinging the new admin to step up and see if he sees anything
You using Chrome? These errors seen in part also here
