I made a post here I believe back in November, where I explained how for no reason, AVG had a random chance of scanning only a couple hundred things before it's progress would halt.
It's happened again.
This morning, I decided to start a scan since I hadn't for awhile.
It got to 279 items scanned, and then, stopped. When I clicked 'stop', the number went to 280, but no further.
I shut the computer down and just like last time, AVG still thinks it's performing a scan, meaning I can't actually, scan for the time being.
Meanwhile, it is taking up nearly all of my processing power in the background, looking at task manager, as it did the previous times this happened.
Only solution I ever got to work in the past was to disable protection, restart the computer, turn it and AVG back on and restart the computer again, and there's a chance it will be okay when I get back to the computer it's self.
Sometimes this doesn't like to work regardless and I have to go swathes of time with AVG disabled for the sake of the system.
Just wanted to make you all aware this still seems to be a problem.
I still have no idea what causes it. I would try to validate the files to see if somehow, something vital went missing at some point, but I've been carefully watching it the whole time I've had it for things like that—and, I don't have a clue if it's even possible to redownload/install missing or damaged files without entirely uninstalling AVG and reinstalling it.
