V4 Weekly Scan

Hi,
The weekly scans are taking over an hour, in some cases closer to 2 hours. i have set the following with little change;

Smart Scan - Local Drives

Object Settings
Max Ob Size = 10mb
Max Scan Time = 30 secs

Archive Scan Setup
Archive nesting Level =
Max Sixe = 10mb.

Has anyone any further suggestions and why can i not have a one time full scan when the product is loaded followed by real-time protection only?
Any useful comments appreciated.
Cheers

 

any ideas anyone....eset??

 

I for one think that 1-2 hours are fine for a full system scan. It all depends on the number of files (especially archives) you have on the disk as well as on the complexity of files (runtime packed and protected files take more time to scan).

 

and what of the single scan when first installed only or a monthly scan??

 

hi, any comments?

 

ping

i have set the archive nesting level to 5. what are the risks please eset?

 

does anyone from eset monitor this forum, or should i log this though the help desk?

 

I have already replied you. Decreasing archive nesting level to 5 won't make much difference as there are barely archives with a deep nesting.

 

hi, thank you for replying to me.
