 * Hi [@haydary1986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haydary1986/), thank-you
   for getting in touch!
 * The scan stopped after a forking request by the looks of things. We have a help
   document that you should follow at: [https://www.wordfence.com/help/scan/troubleshooting/#scan-process-ended-after-forking](https://www.wordfence.com/help/scan/troubleshooting/#scan-process-ended-after-forking)
 * If that doesn’t help, take a look at the other scan troubleshooting on that page
   to see if anything such as starting scans remotely can be successful for you.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.
