extremely slow scan with nod 32

No I have never had a KAV av or a KAV clone av on this computer.

 

I was not going to reinstall nod but I did so I could post the results so you can see what it is actually doing

 

I don't consider that really slow for 272,868 in 30:07 with all options marked?

On mine it is about the same.
number of scanned files: 259792
number of viruses found: 0
time of completion: 11:14:24 total scanning time: 1551 sec (00:25:51)

I did note you posted "136967 files in 18 minutes with panda platinum 7".
That doesn't seem that fast for just 136,967 files.

 

here are what the settings look like I scaned with

 

if you will notice what command will scan the same files in, my command av will scan in seven minutes.

but I have been looking at some of the other peoples scan times with nod and Mine is not that far off. I might just have been expecting to much. I will admit that nod is scanning faster after this reinstall than before.

 

bigc,

Just so you have the comparison with respect to my scan performance, a snapshot of my settings is below. I don't do email since comcast does at the server, and NOD32 does it again on delivery, and I don't want to beat a dead horse. Don't use AH at this time, nor do I do the potentially dangerous app thing.

Your scan time with NOD and all options marked seems pretty normal to me. I would have to admit that if Command AV will scan 272,868 files in 7 minutes that is pretty darn fast.

 

command will scan in that time with comparable settings. And yes it is fast. But now that my expectations have been put in perspective I will leave nod on here and give it another try. you guys on the nod support forum are great, I really do appreciate the time you have put towards this problem.
Thanks
bigc

 

bigc,

You've piqued my interest. I'll turn on the AH and Pot. Dan. Apps switches for tonights scan and post the outcome tomorrow AM, just to get a feel for the hit here. E-mail will still be off, but it will be close to your current settings.

i guess I was luckier than I thought when I won a copy of nod. And it is a bonus that it plays nice with command av also. And it seems to like the rest of the apps. on my comp.

 

An oxymoron, surely.

 

Just a little bit of statistics. While Panda Platinum 7 might seem as though it was scanning faster than NOD, it was in fact slower. From the figures provided by bigc73542 (figures rounded up):

NOD scanned 272868 files in 1807 seconds = 146 files/second

Panda Platinum 7 scanned 136967 files in 1080 seconds (18 mins) = 127 files/second

 

bigc,

Here my stats below with your settings minus the e-mail scan. The 3 infections now picked up are real in that they are related to the TH Trojansimulator. They were present, but not ID'ed, for the other scan results posted by me - guess that's a reasonable argument alone in favor of these settings.

So, at the end of the day the run time was increased by about 10 minutes on a nominal 60 minute scan, or a speed penalty of 17%, not bad actually.

Hi bigc,

I just wanted to give you some info for comparison. Of course these results are on my system.

Screenshot # 1 show a full scan with all possible options checked.

 

Screenshot # 2 shows with the advanced heuristics and potentially dangerous applications not checked.

 

Not a bad penalty at all for the extra protection

 

A two minute difference is not worth disabling AH and PDA IMO.

 

There is an increase in scan time of 2:14 using all options. This is about a 14% decrease in performance. Before this release, advanced heuristics was only available thru a separate download and the command line. ESET warned that it would slow down scans a lot. But even on my system, NOD32 scans a lot faster than others and is doing so much deeper and more heuristically than other AV's. With all options checked and as many files as you are scanning, I think your times look good.

HTH ...

 

I do not think so either. It piked up a couple of file on my machine with advanced heuristics that without it missed.

 

Well BigC, you must be impressed, a lot of people jumped to help you very quickly, reckon if there was a speed test on this thread it would be close on a record

Good to see everthing is ok.

Cheers

 

I just worked it out, you were offering certificates:

"I helped Master Yoda"

Where's mine? ? ? ? ?

 

As I posted earlier, I think the people on the nod support forum are a great bunch of people. They helped me to understand the nod program better. From useing other products I had a misconception about scanning speeds. There was not actuall a problem with the scan speed but just my perception from the way the other porgrams count files. I was never really against nod it was just my lack of knowledge of the program, but since all of the very timely replies I have a much better feeling about nod and am planning to keep it on here as my primary av now. Thanks again to everyone that took the time to reply to this.

You can consider yourself a Yoda helper in the first degree.

 

Woooooohooooooo

 

I just reformated and installed my xp pro this time instead of xp home and after I got everything reinstalled I scanned with nod. It scanned 90658 files everything on the Hdd in 9.02 minutes, that is what I was hoping nod would do. I am a lot more satisfied now I guarantee.
