Scan fails because of insufficient computer memory
Cause: Too many programs are running on your computer.
Solution: Close all programs that are not in use. This includes programs that run in the background, such as screen savers and virus checkers. If you turn off your virus checker, remember to turn it back on after you finish your scan.
If this does not work, it might help to restart your computer. Some programs do not release memory when you close them. Restarting your computer will clear the memory.
If this problem occurs frequently, or if you encounter memory problems while using other programs, you might need to add more memory to your computer. See the user guide that came with your computer for more information.
