    I have been using avg to scan my computer. As of late, I am finding my scans take very long to complete, up to four hours. Avg found what is known as the ADWARE.ROGUESUSPECT. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get rid of this finding? I have clicked remove all threats, but soon i do another scan it once again finds that same adware.Rogue.Suspect. If you have any suggestions please post. Also, does anyone have any idea why my scans are taking so long? takes four hours to complete a scan. i also find that while scanning, considering i have a duo processor, my computer lags during the scan. thank you for all suggestions.

    Hey lovlife4

    Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and install it. Follow the prompts and reboot if required.

    **If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If you are asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
