Guest Mark53music Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 This is a problem that I have had with Windows Defender, and, now, with Microsoft Security Suite. Whenever I run a scan, my computer will freeze about 85% through the scan. Defender was the same. I, sometimes, get the same result during a Windows/Microsoft Update Installation. Only at those times. This is an older computer that runs XP Pro SP3. I have another that runs Vista Home Basic plus one that runs Windows 7 Pro. Only the XP one has the issue. Everything else runs fine. Super Anti Spyware works perfectly. It is just the Microsoft/Windows products that hang. A relatively reasonable solution would be appreciated. No, I am not going to update the OS on this computer. It has had it's upgrades, but is at it's limit. I am not a fan of Vista and 7 would not work on it. Plus, there are programs that I like that will not work on 7, and the virtual computer that one can get for 7 is...well...let us just say that it is not as good as having the real deal. I did have McAfee on my computers and it would scan fine. Did not find anything untoward. Leads me to think that it is a 'Windows' kind of thing. Any reasonable solutions? Thanks. Continue reading...
