Scan fails to run

[Tarnak]

I can not complete a scan.

The GUI disappears after running for a about 15 seconds during scanning memory objects for infection.

P.S. It runs if I go into Safe Mode.

Please go to My Controls then Edit Signature in Personal Profile then add system information like my signature so that helpers can offer pertinent advice.

YoKenny1, thanks but I would rather just keep a low profile....I wouldn't know what to put in a signature.

Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2

Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180

Windows Service Pack 3 has been available for almost 2 years with many Critical Updates and performance improvements and Internet Explorer V6.0 is very vulnerable to infection.

Go to Control Panel then Automatic Updates then select Automatic (recommended) or at least Notify me but don't automatically download or install them.

Go to Secunia Online Software Inspector then run it to see what other applications are vulnerable:

I am with YoKenny1 on this one, you should really consider updating to SP3, not only is it a security fix, but there are also some enhancements in SP3 that could actually increase the performance of your computer.
