Spyware program hangs

I ran the spyware program and it found 27 threats. When
removing them, the program successfully removed 10, then
hung. Every subsequent time I try to remove the
remaining 17, the program hangs and I have to kill it
through task manager. It shows as not responding in the
task manager.

I'm running XP home.

I have the same problem. Now it's "not responding" while
loading. There don't seem to be many answers here... just
questions!
 
I've seen reports of "pauses" (nicer word than hang!) of periods from 30
minutes to well over an hour--not sure what the time was--on specific
filenames during some Microsoft Antispyware operations. I'd be interested
in hearing the result of leaving the machine running for an extended period
of time in this situation.

I'm also aware of other situations in which scans or (perhaps) cleaning
operations hang, and there's an eventual memory related error message.
These seem to me to indicate a bug--but I'm not clear about the first case I
mention--a long period of time to perform an operation is surely
sub-optimal, of course.
