Thank you. One way would be to have a look at the list of processes running on your system when the scan is at 99%. If you still have some openvassd processes that are executing NVTs (visible in the proctitle - process name), then your scan is indeed not finished. If you have no openvassd processes running, then your scan actually ended, and you are experiencing an issue. Some vulnerability tests (NVTs) do takes a lot of time, like the ssh_bruteforce one for instance. Best Regards, Ben.
