OK tested and the work around does the job. Paused standard shield, ran adaware, closed adaware, clicked continue, after a short period of time standard shield back running and no hang.

I didn't test it against any other on-demand scanner as the process I believe is the same regardless of the other on-demand scan.

Very good.

Thank you.

Very interesting explanation, even though I have only half a clue (had to read it four times to get that much!).  The effort is certainly appreciated here, and I have already put the work-around to work. Thank you!

P.S.  I am thankful no more input from me was necessary to find the solution.  I unexpectedly had to work 12 hours yesterday and wasn't able to do anything with my computer.
