It just sys " Error during scan ". No error code no noting.............
Hi,
If possible, can you please try again to run the full system scan.
The reason is we are able to run the scan here without any issue.
One more suggestion would be, run LU once and restart the PC and try to run a new full scan.
Please try this(if already tried please let us know the results).
Regards,
Prasanna.
Hi,
1. Please Check with the Norton History in the Tasks --> Check Security History regarding any Information of the Error and post it here.
2. Most of the Cases Quick Scan / Full System Scan Will Fail due to the Interference or If the Computer turns into Sleep Mode.
3. Please Check with the Power Settings and don't allow the Computer go into the Sleep Mode.
Making the Changes just try another time for the Full System Scan and Let me Know If the problem Still Persists.

I am having the same issues on four out of eight machines in regard to Norton Antivirus 2012: they will not even attempt to start the Full System Scan. As soon as the link for Full System Scan is clicked, the window where the scan should start appears with a red banner and the text "Error During Scan." All numbers on the results screen are 0 (as in 0 items scanned, etc.). There is no entry in the history for that attempt at scanning, so apparently the software does not even get far enough to open the log file and record that a scan was requested. Clicking on Close is the only option for the "Error During Scan" results window. Further pressing on the Full Scan link goes ignored by the software until the machine is rebooted. Upon reboot, the link is active again but attempting to use it results in the same "Error During Scan" message. Quick Scan seems to work normally. Custom Scan also seems to work. It is only Full System Scan that does not.
None of the computers have power saving features turned on, so Sleep or Hibernation is not an issue (nor would it be even if they were turned on since the abortion of the scan is instantaneous, not after the scan had been working properly for some time).
The machines are all various configurations: anything from a Pentium 4-based laptop with Windows XP Pro (32-bit) up to a Core i7-2600K desktop with Windows 7 Pro (64-bit). Four systems get the Full System Scan to work and the other four do not.
Any thoughts, ideas, comments, things to check, or other words of wisdom and assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Lets try to run a scan in safe mode and see whats happening.
Reboot the computer in safe mode with networking and double click on the norton icon on the desktop.
It will ask you if you want to start a full system scan.See if the scan starts.
If yes,wait for the scan to be complete and see if it detects anything.
Let me know the results.
Cheers !
Three of the four machines seem to be scanning in Safe Mode with Networking just fine. The fourth has had the Software hive of the registry corrupted by the installation attempt of Norton Antivirus. That problem will be resolved later as it is a less critical machine.
Did it detect any threats when run in safe mode ?
Did you attempt running a scan after this i normal mode and see if its working ?
Also Is there any other antivirus products installed in the machine ? If yes please remove the same and see what happens.
No, no threats were found. No, it does not work in normal mode. No, there is no other antivirus software running on these machines. Norton Antivirus 2012 upgraded and removed Norton Antivirus 2011. NAV is the only antivirus software that I will use on my business (or personal) machines as it has always been the best security package in my professional experience.
I assume that you upgraded from 2011 to 2012 and since you did not have an error you directly installed the product.
Lets try re installing the product by running the norton removal tool.Run the norton removal tool and reinstall the product and see if its scanning.
It seems that this issue was reported to us with our technical support team and the issue was resolved by reinstalling the product after running a removal tool
Link for Norton removal tool : www.symantec.com/nrt
Link for NAV 12 : www.norton.com/nav12
Lets check if this resolves the problem for you.
I just utilized Norton Removal Tool and reinstalled from the installation disc (though I did download the installer if the disc did not work) and had success. I am now running a full system scan on this Core2 Quad Q6600 with Windows XP (SP3) 32-bit when I could not do so before. Thus, the answer seems to be that, for some odd reason, on occasion when NAV 2012 upgrades from a previous version (NAV 2011 in the cases of my machines), it does not get some of the changes executed correctly and, thus, this problem of not being able to run Full System scans occurs.
I will now go do the NRT routine on the other machines and insure that the solution is (at least for me) universal. The only machine that will require more work is the older Gateway laptop that had its Software registry hive corrupted during a LiveUpdate routine. Worst case scenario, I will have to reformat but I think I have a restore image that I can use to get it back to where we were previously.
Two things I should mention. First, the NRT seemed to "hang" on the "Removing MSIs by Product Code" step (I think that is the correct wording). In the case of this machine, it took about 10 minutes to complete that step and move on to "Removing Folder Trees," the longest I have seen on any machine on which I have worked in the past. I point this out so that maybe it can help point you in the right direction to resolve it for future users without having to resort to the atomic bomb of using NRT. Second, though I should have realized it, NRT will remove just about every Norton product on the machine. In my case, I have not only Norton Antivirus but also Norton Ghost on the machines, so that means that I will have to go back and do a bit of busy work by reinstalling Ghost 15. At least NAV is up and running, though.
Good to hear that the scan is now running in one of the computers where you re installed the product.
Though we are not receiving a lot of calls on this,but yes we did receive some calls and were resolved by reinstalling the product.
Regarding the time NRT seem to getting stuck at removing MSI's by product code also have been reported earlier and that's not something to worry about as NRT has successfully removed the previous entries.
Let me know the status of other computers as well.
Cheers !
The two other computers that I have time to resolve right now have scanned away and are healed as far as not being able to run Full System Scan. Now I just need to get to reinstalling Ghost and configuring it as needed for my business needs.
Something on which I would like to comment is that the speed of the scans seems to be even faster than NAV 2011. My primary workstation has about 8TB of storage space and last night, NAV 2012 was able to complete a full system scan on that entire 8TB (and, yes, it is practically full rather than a lot of empty space) in 90 minutes. NAV 2011 typically took about 3-4 hours for the same amount of data. I don't know how Symantec cut the scan time in half but good show!
Great to hear that the issue is resolved now ..Music to the ears !!!
Please get back to us if in case you have any problems in the future.
We are constantly striving to increase the performance of the computer by many ways like the scan taking less time to complete now.
Last but not the least sorry for the time it took to resolve the problem.
Part of the reason that I elected to do the upgrades on the weekend was so that we would have the time to resolve the issues before the machines are needed to run the business next week. Most of these machines are used as diagnostic stations in my computer sales and service business, so if they are not up and running, things are not happy.
While it took several hours of forum posts to get to the bottom of the matter, at least we were able to do so and all before the start of Monday. That is what matters. I thank you for your diligence in resolving this and giving me confidence in the brand-spankin' new version of Norton Antivirus.
