I did quick scans first because MBAM never could do a full scan without the system rebooting... My quick scans did find some things early on, but the last one I did showed that it found 0 infections... whereas the full scan that is currently still running has found 27 infected objects (over 28 hours and after scanning over 4.5 MILLION objects). I'm just afraid to abort the scan after investing 28 hours into it. Q: Should I delete the c:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall\*.* directory? Q: Once the scan in paused, can I put the computer (IBM Thinkpad) into hibernation and pick up the scanlater? The reason I'm asking is that I've been working on this for 3 days at my office, but will be gone for a couple of days and I don't want to leave it here unattended.
