Did something change in the last 2 weeks? Long scan times...

BS settings, scans typically took 25 minutes. Now looking at 75 minutes. Nothing has changed on my system.

Ideas?

 

When were you comparing? Not having a go at you, but were the 25min scans several years ago, as in the newer 75min scans may now scan for more items (Potentially Dangerous Applications etc) and also may be scanning more data?

Cheers

 

I'm talking two weeks ago (25 minutes) versus a couple days ago (75 minutes).

Nothing has changed on my system, same amount of data and apps installed.

 

Wow, that I can't answer, I wonder if anyone else has seen the same.

 

My deep scans are the same as always - between 20 and 30 mins.

 

I reinstalled Nod32 & my 20 minutes or so scan now took 46 minutes...I'm should mention I'm running this on my wife's laptop which actually has only 7 gigs used instead of mine at 12gigs...so I was curious what had chged in the newer version...

 

Sometimes it takes longer to scan because it scans System Volume Information folder which constantly grows with every restore point if your System Restore service is turned on. I disable the service and it's back to 20 min. scan.

 

go amon setup
and in the options click optimize scaning
then scan you system again in two days you will see scan time back to it's orignal place

 

mine takes about 16 minutes only used 5gig lol

245 gig left to fill up lol

it must be something local to the OP's machine - my scans around the 20th last month were 4400 seconds, and last night it was 4300 seconds - so yes, I'm seeing scans around 75 minutes, but mine appear to have been that long for as long back as I have logs.

 

78146 files - 456sec (00:07:45) - All scan options turned ON.
So that's an increase in scan time by 1 minute..

I think my weekly scan C drive took about 27 minutes with latest version. Good or bad.
