This scan has never been completed!!

I downloaded the Mac version and ran a local drive scan. STOP at around 438,xxx remaining and indicated "This scan has never been completed". I clicked on "scan now", it would start scanning at around 470,xxx remaining and stopped again

Uninstalled and installed AGAIN, ran another scan, and same thing happened. but this time ran more files......

NEED HELP!

  • This definitely helps... that file resides in a .pkg or .mpkg file, and is an installer archive.

    When archives are being scanned, the progress bar does not increase, even though the archive is decompressed and its contents are scanned.  When the scan of the entire archive is complete, the progress bar will resume its movement.

    If there is not enough room to decompress the archive (in this case, it needs to decompress the gzip archive, then decompress the pax archive inside, then possibly decompress the embedded archive inside that), scanning will fail for that file.

    When you say "stopped" do you mean that your scan terminates, or that the progress bar stops moving for a number of minutes?
