Full Scan won't advance past 0%
« on: August 05, 2017, 08:34:21 PM »
I'm running Avast Free Antivirus and I am attempting to run a full scan, but no matter how long it doesn't advance past 0%. I go to my scan history and it shows I ran a scan and even after 34 minutes it did not advance past 0%. Do I just let it run forever and see what happens? Is there a way to fix it?

Most likely the rootkit portion of the scan. It takes a very long time.
Disable it if you're not checking for rootkits.
