    I attempted to scan my computer tonight using AVG anti-virus (as i usually) but found that it was unable to so for some reason. Upon clicking "scan computer" all attempted folders/files resulted in "Result = reading error' / 'Status = Error'' or "status = Cannot open; not checked / Status = not scanned". Anyone know whats up. Is this possibly a result of a virus?
    Thanks for any help.

    Reboot in safe mode! Can you run a scan in safe mode?
