Using Zemana AntiMalware 2.30.2.37 portable on Windows 7. Smart scan on previous versions would scan around 10,700 objects in less then two minutes. Latest version smart scan is now scanning 125,764 objects. I terminated scan after 13.5 minutes. It is now scanning all my photos (TIFF and CR2 Raw). They need to add a shorter scan or an option to limit objects scanned in smart scan mode.

 

I noticed the opposite than yours=

 

I'm using the installed Premium version 2.30.2.37 and I also noticed an increase in the number of items scanned from around 6,000 previously to 80,000 now although the scan time was still only 5 minutes.

 

Smart / Deep Scan=

Scanning engine rewritten.
Improved performance.
Real Time Protection check box added to setup.

It took over 6 minutes to do a scan on my SSD, compared to a minute or so in older versions. If I had a hard drive, rather than a SSD, I presume that the scan would have taken much longer. However the amount of software you've got installed will have a big affect on the scan time. I've got many programs installed which will have slowed won the scan. It reminds me of Malwarebytes, as its scan times these days are also much longer than what they once were, and even a Hyper Scan is nowhere near a quick as it once was.

I'm running Windows 10, so I don't think it's an operating system issue, but probably has more to do with the amount of files it has to scan on your system.

 

In every PC, the amount of files to scan remains the same (with ZAM 2.21 installed or with ZAM 2.30).
Imo, the changes is scan time are due to the new engine in ZAM 2.30 (Scanning engine rewritten), not due to the amount of files.

 

anon - Do not agree. Nothing has changed on my computer yet the number of files scanned using the "smart scan" mode has increased by a factor of 12x. I have reported this to Zemana.

 

I can't comment specifically on v2.21 vs v2.30, but ZAM now does scan a lot more files than older versions did. On my system doing a Smart Scan, scans well over 400,000 files.

 

Exactly.

When I wrote "amount of files to scan remains the same" I was meaning the total files on hard drive, not the amount of files scanned by ZAM (which increased as I said due to the new engine).

Zemana AntiMalware 2.21.2.465 (Portable)
Duration : 1m 34s
Scanned Objects : 5528

Zemana AntiMalware 2.30.2.37 (Portable)
Duration : 1m 42s
Scanned Objects : 75632

 

Here are the stats on my machine:

2.21

Zemana AntiLogger 2.21.204.465 (Installed)
Scan Type : Smart Scan
Duration : 2m 16s
Scanned Objects : 17851

2.30

Zemana AntiLogger 2.30.204.37 (Installed)
Scan Type : Smart Scan
Duration : 1m 2s
Scanned Objects : 142641


Now it is scanning more files, but much faster. Scanning speed depends on the performance of your computer and the number of files you have on your system.

 

The Smart Scan time has tripled for me due to many more file being scanned. In my case there are 429,161 objects scanned, so I can understand why the scan takes over 6 minutes to complete. However, in a few more years, I can only presume it will be much longer, as by then there may be a few more times as many files to scan, considering I keep installing new software, and am not going to do a clean install any time soon.

I just tried to do a Deep Scan, for the first time. I've only ever run Smart Scan, as I've felt no need to ever do a Deep Scan, but I wanted to see how much longer it would take compared to a Smart Scan. However, it appears to hang when scanning ntdll.dll. Zemana was still using CPU time, but still scanning the same file after ten minutes. I stopped the scan, and Zemana did terminate the scan right away, which would indicated it had not hung, but it seemed strange that it was stuck on a single file for 10 minutes.

 

This is already a bit OT, actually:
On my ZAL's Smart Scan, the time required doubled, instead of cutting the time by half just like with TwinEagleHead's.
Before: approx. around 1 min. with fewer files scanned
After: approx. around 2 min. with more files scanned.

Anyway, this doesn't really matter to me, as long as it doesn't take so much time scanning. Two minutes is still very acceptable.

Scanned Objects : 73852/73877

 

At Zemana, we constantly work to improve scan speed and not to make scan time longer. Any kind of detection that we create is aimed not to make scans longer but the opposite. That is one of main Zemana principles, clean your computer in just a few minutes, no matter how badly infected.

 

Hi
After installing the latest version of ZAL my smart scan has gone from 2mins to 8mins and the number of scanned items has gone from 12,000 to 80,000.
I am running Windows 7 32bit
I presume this is down to the rewritten engine? Strange that the increase in scan time does not seem to have affected those running Windows 10 to the same degree.

No idea why it would take over 13 minutes for you @stapp
It seems fishy to me.
