Antivirus scans always die at 97 or 98% completion

Antivirus scans always die at 97 or 98% completion.

This is a new thing as of the last 2 weeks.

What does it likely indicate?
Would some malwear be blocking its ability to complete a scan?
Any suggested fix?

Kaspersky Internet Security v. 11.0.1.400 on Windows 7 Pro.

Does it just tell you that the scan is complete, at 97-98%, or does it throw an error, crash, etc.?

If it just completes normally, then I would think that perhaps just the estimation is off, probably caused by excess files in system restore or shadow copy service or something like that.

No error message. It just stops at 97% or 98%, as if the scan is frozen. The rest of the computer does not freeze up and remains useable.

I was wondering if some infection might be hiding in that last 2% - 3% and preventing Kaspersky from scanning its hiding place?

Kaspersky was a bug ridden piece of bloatware last time I used it. Blame them is my guess.

So I was hoping someone on AT would give more constructive suggestions to fix my issue, because I’ve exhausted what I know.

Anybody else care to suggest more inputs / fix ideas?

You'd have better luck trying in the official Kaspersky forums.
