Please Help,
When I'm running any kind of anti-virus, e.g Housecall, Pandasoftware, the scan gets to a certain point about 20%, it detects a virus (PE_SPACES), gets rid of most of the infected files, then a blue error screen comes up, I'm unable to complete any kind of antivirus scan.
The error message mostly reads:
Error:00:0028:CAFE8310,
This is what usually comes up but there have been other erros come up in the past.
Please, do you know of anyway I can get rid of my virus or just run a scan 100% fully
