Scan never completes

rick-m650

I downloaded Antivirus for Mac HE last night and updated.  Twice I tried to run my initial scan and it froze both times with 5.8M items remaining out of 6.0M.  What's hanging this up?

PS:  I tried attaching both log files after copying them to Text Edit but your Forum wouldn't allow me to attach a .rtf or .txt file.

    I solved the problem of scans stopping on my iMac after less than an hour into the scan.  After suffering through this problem for months, I suspected the default hourly auto update was stopping the scan. Now, I deselect the auto update and run the scan of all files , including the remote iomega backup, without a hitch.  The suggestion to restrict the scan to the macHD alone would shorten my scan time and I may try that  if I can convince myself that it's necessary
