antimalware doctor problem

No worries,
take your own time to do it.

Have tried Kaspersky twice now. It downloads and updates OK, but freezes up wile doing the scan. I don't have any Anti-Virus software installed. When the run program window comes up, it states that there is an error in Kaspersky's program signature (or something like that?)

I will leave it running for now to see if it eventually finishes. I started running it @ 5am where I am so there should be plenty of bandwidth(?) at this time.

Is there another scanner I can use?

Thanks

• Choose the option to clean up system restore and click yes.
