Cant scan files

Have an interesting problem. When doing an on-demand scan, many / most of my files show locked or protected. I am curious if this has anything to do with other protection that was currently running:

1. Process Guard
2. Spyware Guard
3. Arovax Shield
4. NOD32
5. Outpost Firewall
6. All-Seeing Eye

Can any of these program "lock" the file from being seen by NOD32, and therefore unable to be scanned correctly?

If this is the case, Anyone have this problem before? If so, do you know what problem is causing this "problem"?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I did a search in the forums, but obviously didn't try "searching" for the right things.

Much appreciate the help.

 

There are a couple of other threads on the subject but that one explains it well. I did a search of the forum using the term "locked Files".
