Default Prevx 2.0 scan problems

Hi,

Sorry in advance for probably using the wrong forum, the wrong terminology etc. etc.

Basically, I've got Prevx 2.0 loaded (Windows XP). For a week or two now, Prevx starts a process scan - "Analayzing running programs..." - automatically every time I switch the PC on. This can take up to an hour, and brings all applications to a stand still. I'm sure this is typical.

Howver, when the scan finally finishes, it comes up with 4 malicious malware items in the jail. Code red and all that. Ok that's fine. But when I go to clean up, the window opens saying "Prevx 2.0 is analyzing and cleaning up. Please wait..." but nothing happens. Progress (ie. 0-100% completed) remains at 0. I've tried leaving it for huge amounts of time, I've made sure the internet connection is fine, I've made sure no programs are running etc.

Is there a way to get this jail emptied without the Prevx cleanup thing stalling on me? I can't even Abort the program.

I'm presuming that the Prevx scan runs automatically on every start up because these malicious files are there. But it's already done a scan, and I can't act on its results because it freezes when I ask it to go ahead and do a cleanup

Argghhh! Please help

Hello and welcome to PC Help Forum.

I am not known to this program but it could be to do with its settings or it is still picking up and infection it is unable to clean.Check the settings of this program or uninstall it and download and install this great software:AVG 8 Free Anti Virus
