Default AntiVirus Locking Up?

Ok so whenever I run my Avast Scan, it locks up around the 8% mark. I tried running Avira Antivirus and the same thing happened at 17%.

Any ideas?

Post an HJT. There might be underlying malware stopping the scan.

That would make for an interesting High Jack This log.

I have a problem with nod 32 locking up, but norton avg and kasperski never lock up. Kasperski is really good, once you disable the (yes or no) pop-ups
