Okay so my computer is still acting strangely. I'm using panda scan and last time I stopped it in the middle because I didn't have the time to just let is sit. Now I'm right next to my router and have plenty of time. Is it suppose to take a really long time and just sit at one file for a while or what? Because it has been stuck at the same file for atleast thirty minutes.

well it depends.on my computer usually takes about 10-25 minutes between 38% and 60%.suppose to take 30-60 minutes for the whole scan.can depend on your connection speed and how many files it has to scan.

Edit:if it sticks at a file might be cause the file is really big or has a virus in it.

Well I had to close it again last night. It was at about 50% I think and about 50000 files scanned and 7 detected threats. I was right next to the router and it took one or two hours.

Should I one day just plug in the charger and just let it sit and scan for the whole time?

Alright thanks I delete the whole ask.com folder because I don't ever use it.

Alright weird thing number two: Sometimes when I open my computer regularly it has no internet connection then when I switch to safe mode I get internet again.

I forgot to add I used panda scan and I was looking for the folders and it was all in a cookies folder

c:\documents and settings\(My user name)\cookies\(My user name)@realmeadia[1].txt

I enabled hidden folders but I can't find the cookies folder.

I can't find my cookies folder either.
most my cookies are in c:users\(username)\appdata\local\temp\cookies

or c:\users\(username\appdata\roaming\micorsoft\windows\cookies
i have to use the search bar to access them.
