Doing a full scan (only type available with free home). It reaches 69% and then stalls for at least an hour now. I've completely uninstalled/reinstalled Home and get exactly the same result.
Task Manager shows CPU, Disk and Memory usage with the AV task having the highest usage although not 100% except occasionally for Disk. I got the PID for the AV task and when I look at disk activity details in resource manager for that PID, it seems to be accessing a succession of different files, i.e., doesn't appear to be just revisiting the same file in a loop. This would seem to indicate it's still scanning, but it stays stuck at 69%. How long does a full scan typically take? I have well under a TB being scanned.
Edit: Well of course, right after posting this, the scan % began to increase, although very slowly, now at 80%. Fingers crossed. Sorry to criticize free software, but a UI that has progress stall at 69% for an hour is poor design, IMHO.
