 * Hello
    I am having the same issue again that this last update supposedly fixed:
   I can only finish a scan if i disable scan posts and scan comments for malicious
   malware and also after disabling teh option ‘scan images as if they were executable.
   After disabling this, the scan finally finished. thanks
