scan freezes at 84%

Im using build 13.0.218 and everytime I run a scan (schedualed or manual) it lways stops at 84%
I have tried reinstalling it several times but still the same result.
Can anyone help with what could be wrong with it??
Thanks

Check you hard drive for errors. Go to Start/Run and enter cmd then click the Enter key.

Type in chkdsk /r (with the space) and hit the Enter key.

It will most likely refuse to run stating volume in use, try at reboot Y/N? type Y and hit the Enter key then exit and reboot.

In Vista do it in an elevated Command Prompt window. Instructions here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/0...windows-vista/

Sometimes VirusScan will appear to freeze, especially at zipped/compressed files as it has to unpack each one before scanning can continue.

Failing that contact Technical Support chat, available 24/7 via the link at top left of this page or in my signature.

I'll give chkdsk a go... think I did that not so long ago with no change.
Its not because of any .rar or .zip files as it freezes for a long time (i'm talking hours! :eek: )
My scan is at 87% at the moment and looking OK so far.............. lol
