Default Anti Spyware locks up in the middle of the scan.


During the scan the software stops responding when it
reaches Polymorphic Browser Hijack scan. I cant get it to
finish. Ive tested it on several computers and has worked
fairly well. With one execption.

Try clearing the TIF and Temp folders then start the scan again.
See if you can tell where it's scanning at the time.

Edit: One thing I noticed that M$ did to remedy all the google hits for "Polymorphic Browser Hijack Scan" issues ... the new prgm update hangs at "variable browser hijack scan" ... lol
