Live OneCare safety scan

Jul 21, 2007 7:24PM PDT

When I run the Windows Live OneCare free safety scanner, it takes nearly two hours on the clean up scan. The number of registry items found varies between 184 and 600. The items are nearly all the same - "HKLM Software Wow\6432Node" these all show as errors that can't be cleaned. It used to take only 15 minutes to complete the clean up scan. This problem started several weeks ago when I received an automatic update from Microsoft, unfortunately I do not which of the updates it was.
My computer is 64 bit with Vista Windows Ultimate.
I would be grateful for any advice.
