Dear Eli,

I was having a time-out problem with one of my infected sites. It had over 200 infected files.

You suggested:

… employ the fix-as-you-go method which means you click on the Automatic Fix button as soon as there is anything to fix but you let it keep scanning at the same time.

I tried that and it worked for a while.

Then a big batch of bad files came up and the Automatic Fix wasn’t able to handle it.

I restarted the scan and let it complete.

Then unchecked all the red-coloured bad files.

Then checked 10 of them at a time and ran the fixer on those. This worked.

A couple of times I tried a larger batch. At about 16 at a time the fixer started to time-out (i.e. it just kept churning away but never completing).

Currently my ADSL internet seems to be running slow. And using the modem’s WiFi (when I take the computer into the house) is even slower.

Perhaps when (hopefully) ADSL performance improves there won’t be all these time-out issues.

Even so, I think it might be helpful to have a way of unchecking all the infected files and to have a way of checking these files in batches. Maybe.

Best Wishes,
