Boot Scan Fails: "The IOCTL call made by the application program is not correct"

[acnicholls]

This is shown when scheduling the boot time scan, or any other scan in fact.  When I log in, under my user account, which is a domain user, and a part of the local machine administrators group, then try to do ANY scan, I get this error.  If I go to Scan > Scan for viruses > Boot Time Scan > Start.  I get this error.  Selecting any other scan type (ie: Quick or Full) gives me the same error.

I got the same message .. is there any solution  ?

Hi, I've been having this problem as well. It looks like custom scans still work, though I'm not sure if that's just because I excluded my mostly unused HDD from the drives scanned.

I had the same problem, but I solved it installing new SATA drivers. Before that, I got tired trying all kind of sollutions: format Hard Disk, install windows 7 again, take off the video board PCI Express, install another antivirus, etc, etc. But the drivers was the magic sollution. Good Luck!!!
