Local drive scan aborts part way through

Hi,

I havejust reinstalled my O/S - Mountain Lion - on my iMac and I cannot get the an AV scan to complete. I have switched off all external drives to limit the scan, but to no avail. Mountain Lion was a 'clean install' so there shouldn't have been any issues there, and the AV package does not seem to display any other symptoms. Any ideas? The machine did display this problem before the re-format, but I assumed this was a fault with the operating system.

Any help or advice would be welcomed.

Regards,

Ray

  • Did you happen to note what file was being scanned when the scan aborted?  Likely it's an archive of some sort.

    If you create custom scans for your Applications, System, Library and Users folders, does one of them abort but the others go through?
