    Yes, though MWAV lags PC too much, even when its processes are set to low CPU. [​IMG]
    So due to it, I perform a full scan only when I sense, that it is needed (once per month).
    I also do a fast scan, registry, Windows about once per 1-2 weeks, also when needed only.

    I run a full system scan weekly, but when not doing anything else on the computer. Usually takes about 8 minutes in which time I've made myself a cuppa! :D

    I'm actually using KIS with the 'scan only new & changed files' option enabled.

    I run nothing else while performing a full scan so the av has full use of all the resources it needs
