In one of my snapshots, scanning has become inordinately slow.

If an infection is detected, the scan will become more cautious, scanning more idle files. It will return to normal speeds after it re-establishes that the system is clean. I suspect part of it is due to the other snapshots being scanned as well, but there probably isn't a reliable way of getting around that without compromising security. If you wanted, you can uninstall/reboot/reinstall which should improve it. Let me know your results!
It seemed it was mostly irrelevant detections, so I will see how the scans go before going to all that trouble with uninstall/reinstall.

OT but sort of relevant - how's WRSA getting along w/VIPRE? I always had issues with Prevx on my machines that run VIPRE Premium (IS now)
I have Vipre 2012 AV (5.0.5074) co-existing very peacefully here with WSA Essentials 8.0.1.23, and both scanning fast also...about 90-100 secs for WSA, and approx 2 1/2 mins quick scan for Vipre. On x86 Windows 7 HP.
I have noticed that there is 100% harddrive activity when updating definitions. It takes longer now with the latest Vipre 2012 release. Apparently, a new method has been implemented, "to prevent definitions from ever going to version 0, even if a definition update fails."
