Virus scan problems

After I downloaded the most recent microsoft updates, Macafee is unable to
scan my computer. It scans fine until it gets to the folder with the update
files and will not scan anymore, essentially freezing up the computer. Any
suggestions?

Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)

start --> settings --> control panel --> internet options --> delete files

Open a Command Prompt.

In the Command Prompt type the following...

CHKDSK C: /F

If it replies..
"Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.
Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts?
(Y/N)"

Choose - Y

type; EXIT

Reboot the PC.

A full Check Disk will want to be performed, allow it.

When it reboots, perform a defragmentation of the hard disk.

You can get to the Defragmenting program easily by executing; dfrg.msc

Start --> run ->
type; dfrg.msc

Dave,

Thanks for the tip. I tried to do it, but it still got stuck on those
files; I think I may have run the defrag program soon after I installed the
updates and the files became fragmented somehow. I ended up just
uninstalling the updates and reinstalling them and Macafee scanned through it
okay. Thanks!
