Computer freezes on MBAM & other scans

[Zab]

Hi. My computer has been freezing up when I attempt a full scan with MBAM or other malware applications (including Avast). It's never been a problem before. Running the scan in Safe Mode or with Heuristics unchecked in settings doesn't help. (But thanks for the latter suggestion, noknojon.) Quick scan is fine.

It doesn't always lock up on the same file, but the infection (if that's what it is) seems to lurk in one folder: c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386. It's there that the freeze-ups always occur. When I isolate that folder with Windows Explorer and do a right-click dedicated scan there, sure enough, everything locks up and I have to do a cold reboot. (It even locks up when I do a Windows Explorer search on one of the specific files in that folder where the freeze-ups have occurred.)

Anyway, I think I've got a bug somewhere in there, but since EVERY malware and virus program I've run freezes up mid-scan, I can't be certain. It's a puzzler, and I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks.
