Good day!

I am having a problem with one of our computers. We have revived an old pc made it work, however, its AV, Symantec won't scan. It will start and will be done in a few seconds? It is updated with the latest virus definition.

It stalls when i download HJT.

Do you think i have a problem here? Thanks.
