drweb scan times

I thought I would try drweb on my laptop to test scan times.
full scan time was 5 hours 55 minutes and 59 seconds. the laptop is dual core and has 4gb of ram.

I am testing drweb space security 8.

I know that full scans do not need to be run very often but it does still seem a very long scan time.

 

I suppose it depends on how much data is on the hard drive.

 

Yes it is. And I have Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
And a quick scan (except for the My Documents folder) lasts for 4-5 minutes.

 

You have the horse power for scanning certainly.
I have never tried dr web so dont know too much about the program.

I suppose different scanners scan in different ways .
Hope all is well in st petersburg.

 

The scanner engine uses all CPU resources. The more cores the more scanning speed. And yes in St. Petersburg all is well.

 

Dr. Web was horribly slow for me on any machine I used it on. It doesn't really matter to me though since the real-time protection didn't slow anything.
