I am the admin on my home PC (Vista IE8). One of the other users started getting virus detections calling for to install something that looked like a Windows product. I ran a full McPhee scan and nothing was detected. This panel was listing 22 different trojans and viruses - in fact the number was rising steadily. I hit the "remove all" button which initially opened up some website that had 3 payment options on it - but after the full McPhee scan that page won't even open I get some message about the page resetting and IE explorer closing and then wanting to reopen the last page and then closing saying that it is in a loop. This happens no matter what page I try to open in IE.
So I switched users back to myself and I have no problems getting on with IE and that has what led me here. Going through everything on the Microsoft site I decided that I would try Onecare as an alternative to McPhee assuming that maybe there is something this would catch if the other missed. So I have installed Onecare and then pressed the button to do a full scan for Vista. The new screen pops up and I click OK for the full scan and then it freezes at 67% download of the scanning tools. There is no refresh button so I cancel out and then click full scan again and the same thing happens. It stays on 67% for up to 25 minutes without changing so I am assuming that is a "freeze".
I have hunted around the forums and cannot see anything that specifically addresses this issue. Also I am very illiterate when it somes to these things. If it is of any use I am also on a satellite connection.

Your off topic for the subscription version of OneCare since you appear to be using the free Safety Scanner. Please copy and paste the above post into a new post here, and include the Rogue Antivirus scanner's name if you know it:
