I suspected as much. I read a post somewhere about malware running alongside IOBIT's malware fighter. Reading that made me uninstall their malware fighter instantly. I guess I'll go try again in regular mode, but it keeps either stopping or slowing down substantially when it's creating the first file. Third time's the charm, I suppose.
About how long would the process take so I can see if something really is blocking it?
It's gotten to the first "Please Wait.." And has been there for past few minutes.
If it takes too long, should I consider uninstalling all my IOBIT files?
It shouldn't take too long. If your computer is balking running in regular mode, try safe mode.
The DDS text file has too many characters to post here. Should I zip that up too?
Both files are attached to this post.
