    Using Ad-aware for a long time now, I've had no problem. Last night though, it seemed to hang on a particular file (can't remember which) so I stopped it. I tried it again, and it hung again on another file. (Can't remember which).

    I completely uninstalled Ad-aware - but the problem still remains. I followed another thread on here called "1st Delete [ "1st Delete program not found--skipping auto check" - one found Diskkeeper causing the problem. I completely uninstalled Diskkeeper 2009 but the problem is still there.

    Has anyone come up with a new(er) solution for this particular problem? Help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Ok - if I can get in amongst the vast amount of responses here - uninstalling Diskkeper does not do the trick. This has nothing to do with it. Uninstalling Ad-aware has nothing to do with it, or at least, not in my case it didn't. Some have said by uninstalling Ad-aware causes the problem. Not so. I did not uninstall Ad-aware, although this program did hang two different times. I've used it a hundred times before and had no problem. The last two times I used it, it hung. But I did not uninstall it. When I rebooted the machine, that is when I noticed the "Lsdelete program not found - skipping autocheck. "
    This file (an exe file) is actually created by Ad-aware but why it went right off the rails is a bit beyond me.
    Anyway, the fix I found on another forum - I'll copy it here.
    -----------------------

    Navigate to the following registry location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

    and remove autocheck lsdelete from BootExecute value, do not remove the autocheck autochk * information.

    If you are unsure about editing the BootExecute value you can delete the value altogether, then at the Command Prompt issue the following command to rewrite the default BootExecute value:

    chkntfs /d
