 * Hi,
 * Try the steps listed here first:
 * [https://docs.wordfence.com/en/My_scans_don%27t_finish._What_would_cause_that%3F](https://docs.wordfence.com/en/My_scans_don%27t_finish._What_would_cause_that%3F)
 * Also, we’ve identified an issue with temporary scan data that affects sites with
   certain database settings, and are working on a permanent fix. Sometimes removing
   old inactive plugins and themes can help as well.
