Complete scan fails to finish

I think I found the root cause.

Imagine you had a zip file called "Z.ZIP" and it contained numerous files including one called "Q.ZIP". Now imagine if "Q.ZIP" contained a file called "Z.ZIP"..........

There is some sort of recursive voodoo going on. As soon as I removed the Z.ZIP file from within the Q.ZIP file, all was well.

AhnLabs and AVG don't like this recursiveness and Nortons went into Orangutang mode (hopped onto its back legs, waved its arms in the air, screamed at a banana and achieved little else!). It then promptly vanished up its own fundamental and BSOD'd. LOL! Best place for it I'd say! LOL

Hope this helps and I promise to do my best not to inflict dumage (damage caused by an idiot) on the forums again. Until next time.

Thanks all,
Ewen :-)

I am having the same issues.. I can't locate where it stops.  The window just disapears and the log says "terminated".  It is somewhere in mydocuments application data. I think.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled and the same thing happens.  Any additional help on this would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Chris

The auto terrmination of CAV bug is fixed in updates 1.1.0.6. Get latest updates and scan your system.

i'm almost having the same problem.. except that in the logs i get scan terminated, with 0 files scanned. happens all the time. e-mailed support asking me to try doing a scan in safe mode, and i still get the same results.  still waiting to hear a response back from them... its been a few days already.

anybody else having issues doing a complete scan?
