Exclamation Anti-Virus Program question
Are anti-virus programs suppose to take a long time to scan? Because I have been scanning with the online Panda anti-virus scanner for 1 day now. And it's at 51% for a few hours now. It's been scan a lot of files in the location called D:\WINDOWS\Installer. Is this normal?

You might try running chkdsk /r on that drive before the next attempt.

Yeah it's weird. I haven't had this problem until recently.
