when trying to scan laptop for virus' the software establishes communication, goes to collecting system status and will run for days if I let it. Never finishes.  Suggestions?
Hi ctm0301

 

A Yuletide Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

May I ask if this is something recent, and whether you have recently installed WSA on your laptop? And if so did you have any issues with the installation process...as part of that is an initial scan of your system?  It would be useful to have that information to help with diagnosis, but in the interim you might try a Clean Install.  Do this by:

 


  • Make sure you have a copy of your Keycode
  • KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
  • Download a copy here (Best Buy Subscription PC users click here)
  • Uninstall WSA and Reboot
  • Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode and don't import any settings as you can set it up as you like once it's done
  • Let it finish it's install scan
  • Reboot once again
If this fails to resolve the problem, you may need to contact Support for assistance.

I that this is of assistance?  Eitherway please post back to let us know how you have gitten on/provide the initially requested information.

Hi wmpca

 

Please see my response in this other thread that you have open, and which is on the same topic.

 

If it is OK with you I think that we should merge them so that we can focus on just one thread?
