    I have read your problem and I would like to tell you that you should try to solve this problem by setting the medium security in the internet options and after doing that you have to check whether it makes any difference or not. As far as I know after trying this solution your problem will get solved.

    Yes I will agree with the above solution. I am telling you this because in my computer I was also having the same issue with the Bitdefender and after that i have tried to search solution on internet and after spending some time on the internet I come to know that I can solve this problem by changing the security level. Now after that I have changed the security level in the internet explorer and after changing the security level in the internet explore rmy problem get solved. I think you should also try this solution and then let me know what the result is.

    If you don’t know about how to change the security level in your computer then you have to first open internet explorer in your computer and after opening the internet explorer you have to select tools menu and after that you have to click on the tools menu and after that you will see the internet options. Now you have to click on that and after clicking on internet options you have to select security tab. After clicking on the security tab you have to change security level from there and after changing the security level you have to check whether it helps you to solve the problem or not.

    As far as I know after trying this solution your problem will get solved.

    You have to first check when you try to use online scanner in your system at that time there is no upgrade process is going on. If there is any upgrade process is going then that is the main reason why you are facing this problem. I hope this information will be helpful for you. If you need any more help then let me know.

    I would like to tell you that you should try to solve this problem by disabling all the programs I your computer and after disabling all the programs in your computer you have to scan your computer with different online scanner and after running different online scanner you have to restart the computer and after restarting the computer you have to check whether it makes any difference or not.

    In your computer if you have Mozilla browser then you should open that and after that go to the online scanner and after that you have to install the extension and then restart Mozilla Firefox browser and after that check whether you are able to scan or not.

    If you don’t find any problem with Mozilla Firefox then problem is with the internet explorer.
