My PC does a daily scan and finds nothing. The screen shows a window "Scanning for Malware" and Scanning for rootkits.... It never gets past 0%
Files scanned 0
Process not scanned
Threats detected 0
Time elapsed 13h 20m
This suggests to me that no scan is taking place. It is always the same problem. My PC is slowing down to the point where I will have to purchase a replacement. In the past I could take the PC to a service shipand theu would clear the MALWARE. I do not have that option now. Is there an ON button somewhere that I need to use?
Any help greatfully appreciated.
