40 mins is about normal, I believe. If you want a faster AV, you might try NOD32.

panda platinum 7 scanned my system p4 2.5 1gb ram in sixteen minutes. fourty minutes is way to long. mcafee 8.0i ent. scans the same sys in twelve minutes and nod in about the same time as mcafee. how many gigs are you scanning and are you running xp.

Well,BitDefender is very thorough so it might take longer than others.

I've got NAV. Slow as a wet week on the scan......about half hour to do 80Gb HDD.....used about 20Gb. Ewido takes a while too.
