I am unsure why but Zoek doesn’t seem to be completing the scan. It has not moved beyond “— Chrome Look 23:20:06.33” for hours. I am not sure whether to switch off and start again or leave it alone.

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-06-13T15:38:01.000Z

Abort and try again. If this happens again, let me know.

system · 2015-06-13T19:04:25.000Z

I tried running the scan again. I’ve just returned to the laptop at 8pm and it has not completed again; it got to the same spot (Chrome Look) at 4.30pm with no further progress.

I should mention that it still seems to be running (it tells me this when I try to quit Zoek).

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-06-13T20:41:58.000Z

Abort it completely.

Hi, I can’t see the link to the fixlist.txt file I need to download.

Hi, I can’t see the link to the fixlist.txt file I need to download.

You shouldn’t need to see the link as such (it is an attachment in the post), clicking the fixlist.txt attachment should offer to open/save (depending on browser) the file. See attached image on Firefox 38.0.5 (click to expand).

system · 2015-06-14T12:17:28.000Z

Many thanks, I can see the attachment now.

I have attached the requested files.

DavidR · 2015-06-14T14:43:53.000Z

You’re welcome, hopefully TwinHeadedEagle will be able to get back to the topic soon.

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-06-14T14:58:08.000Z

How is your PC behaving now?

system · 2015-06-14T15:02:50.000Z

No warnings from Avast are popping up soooo so far, so good!

Thanks for all your help (and DavidR also), I really appreciate it.
