I'm still getting the same problems...


"There might be a problem with Custom Scan. Whenever I tried to scan specific
folders it goes and scans all of C drive anyway.

Also I think there is a glitch with full scan. It got stuck twice on me
now, and it affects the floppy drive."
 
I've seen the glitch you mention with the floppy drive myself. A possible
fix has been posted here by Steve Dodson, but I haven't had a chance to try
it myself. I'll post it here anyway:
--------

Can you try this?



1) Uninstall WD thru Add and Remove Programs

2) Launch cmd prompt

3) MsiExec.exe /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}

4) Delete all contents of Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates

5) Reinstall WD


Let me know if that works for you.
