  It seems that your system "could" be affected by some type of "spyware" or viruses.  Because whenever you try to make a possible scan virus or spyware infection, it is possible 'infections"that will stop the opf 'style' scans.  If you are not comfortable with entering the 'nuts and bolts' of juggling advanced tools or move your hard drive to another computer to scans, consider to "shop" for a virus / spware removal service locally.

  If you scan, try the free version of Malwarebyte Anti-Malware or SuperAntiSpware.  These software will be possible detect more than other tools.  You may need to run these as a clean boot, or are Safe Mode.

• When you run a full scan on windows 7, it can take up to 9 hours.

  I noticed that it takes up to 9 hours to run a full scan in windows 7. Windows Installer seems to be very important when it comes to scanning, as well as others. Is there a way to clean up some of these files, as well as the analysis does not take as long? Or 9 hours an acceptable amount of time to run a scan completes. It seems more 1 million files, is this normal?

  Hello GarryHall,

  The analysis of the file system by using a virus scanner can take hours depending on the number of installed software and drivers. If you have many programs installed on your system, it can really take a lot of time. There is nothing bad about it.

  2. then install the reset search addon - he'll come back more often customizations make these adware programs in default firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
  3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner to ensure that it is not adware in other places as well.

• Laptop crashes when you run anti-virus Scan

  Recently changed my anti-virus. I uninstalled the old and outdated antivirus such as suggested by the guests during the installation of the new anti-virus.

  my laptop hangs to this file. c:\windows\system32\drivers\cdfs.sys

  I already reported it to the editor of my new anti-virus. Their response was for me to check my video card (I am not a technophile, I don't know how to do this) make sure that I got the last video driver.

  What is the problem with my laptop? What should I do?

  Thank you

  Hello

  CDFS.sys is the CD driver so tell them allows you to check the video driver are a mistake. This could be a
  false positive, which means that it is incorrectly detected as malware.

  Did you run the the site of the manufacturer of your old antivirus removal tool to make sure, that it leaves no leftovers?
