Thank you.

AVG virus scanner (free edition) has suddenly decide not to finish - i.e. even though it shows 100% complete and Current object: Finishing it just sits there apparently doing nothing. None of the options to stop or pause are available. All subsequent scans do the same thing.

It has found a threat and I suspect it's having problems moving whatever it is to the virus vault but since it doesn't tell me what its found I cannot do anything about it.

I have tried:

  • Waiting (for six hours)
  • Rebooting (four or five times over three days)
  • Repairing (error and a message about finish)
  • Uninstalling (error and a message about finish)
  • Force removal with the tool and install latest release (it looked OK until it found the same threat)
Any thoughts before I abandon AVG alltogether.
