    got following warning from full scan:

    Starting the file scan:

    Begin scan in 'C:\'
    C:\hiberfil.sys
    [WARNING] The file could not be opened!
    C:\pagefile.sys
    [WARNING] The file could not be opened!


    ??problem??

    all clear otherwise.

    thanks

    Hi

    Not really an issue as those files are locked by the operating system so are in use and not generally if at all places where malware resides.

    hiberfil is your hibernation file, so if you have your PC set to hibernate when not used then this file is active.

    pagefile is the temp space used in lieu of ram.
