NOD32 Manually scan stops randomly

That's because while it looks like a folder, it's not a folder. ;p

Start cmd.exe and use this command> "dir D: /a:h"
You'll see this
04/10/2006 07:15 PM <JUNCTION> Documents and Settings

It's not a folder, it's a Junction point. (Google "Junction point" for more info on them)

The junction points to D:\Users
So really, the path "D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\AppData\Local"
is arriving at "D:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local"
And inside "D:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local" is another junction, named "Application Data" that points back to "D:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local" where it again finds the "Application Data" junction..ad infinitum.


So you have the cyclic recursion you see in that pathname

Maybe Nod32 should stop following junction points

 

Ok, but NOD32 2.51.26 DO NOT close during scan.
