When I run the antivirus software, there are some folders that are locked so
the scan cannot check in those folders.

Can you let me know how to unlocked those folders/files?

Thank you

These files are probably system files that are in use at the time of your virus scan.
i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkServices\ntuser.dat.LOG or
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM.LOG

I think you can change the settings for this if you go to
Folder Options in the control panel. I believe you will
find what you are looking for in the VIEW tab under hidden
folders and files. Give it a try.
 
Those are files and folders that the scanner cant reach.

So am I. I am not going to worry about thos files. If AVG can't open them. And I
can't open half of them. Then, in my cheap opinion, a virus can't get in.
