Please elaborate. You posted insuficient information both on the file being
blocked and
what's supposedly blocking them.

I think lots of people have the same Q.

Running anti-virus scanners the loggs or results often report "blocked
files". What blocks them?

Yes, what blocks them? ...that's naturally one of the problems, I don't
know why or what... scanners doesn't report that and I don't know.

What can it be?
How can I check? (with what?)

I'm sorry, that is STILL insufficient information.

Therefore I can't speak directly to it. I can take a stab at what I think this
MAY be.

Some files will have their respecitive Filer Handles held open by the OS or the
User's
Account and thus can not be scanned. Thus an AV application may consider the
files are
blocked from scanning. Examples of such a files would be...

C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\NTUSER.DAT
C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\NTUSER.DAT.LOG
