Thanks for all the replies. I'm running the scan as I write so too early to say if that's the only scanning problem I have (I'll report back). If the work around works, then fine, but I'm curious as to why the hang occurs. Bear in mind that when I scan the offending file directly, by using the context menu scan or by selecting the folder specifically in the scan interface, the hang does not occur, so why does it only happen when it 'reaches' that file after scanning the rest of the machine? I can't help feeling that this is a more general scanning 'issue', perhaps related to other 'hang scenarios' that others have reported in this forum, and not specifically to do with the Keylogger app itself...??...let me know your thoughts on that.
Other than that, I have some questions which I'd appreciate some views on to help me decide whether I should use this free product rather than renew my NOD32 licence for another year:
1) Why is there no scanning available for Azureus in P2P?
2) What level of risk would you associate with script scanning? As far as I can see that is the only significant difference between the free version and the paid version. As yet I'm not convinced that is worth paying the licence fee for - on it's own. Am I missing something?
I am a home user, 3 machines on a very secure wireless network with the principal machine (this one) hard wired to the router (firewalled). I run a fast (8Mbps) broadband connection and all machines use XP / SP2 with IE7. I additionally use Javacools SpywareBlaster and Spybot S&D for browser 'innoculation' against downloadable 'nasties' and I clean the machine of all applets, temp files, cookies etc etc on startup using CCleaner. Using the default IE7 security settings, is script blocking (or the lack of it) a significant risk? I should add that the users here are me (savvy), my wife (never goes anywhere she shouldn't!!), my teenage daughter (clicks on any link that anyone sends her...!!) and my 11 year old daughter who just sends her mates emails and plays simple games.
BTW, thanks for the link above relating to parental controls - I'll check that out.
Great forum...
Cheers,
Jeremy
