Still Scanning After 24 Hours >> https://tlniurl.com/1tyo26

A2A Agreed with others, Norton is (STILL!) Why does my virus scan program (Norton) take more than 24 hours and scan more than 4 million.

[/quote] My PC is a couple years old but I built it myself with high end (at that time) hardware.. Objects scanned so far: 387,000+ Objects found so far: 1 Can anyone tell me why this might be taking so long, I don't think it ever used to take me this long with any PC/laptop I've had.

Still Scanning After 24 Hours HoursStill Scanning After 24 Hours HoursJun 21, 2012 Windows 7 updates lasting hours.. Is there anything one can do to check if something is wrong after one has given admin access to a.. Should I just leave it running for some 24 hours or so and call a pc technician/shop if there's no progress? But more than 50 updates still failed to.. I did a defrag a few days ago and probably haven't done one sine my last reformat, which might have been a few years ago, and it took pretty long.. The scan time is obviously wrong, I know I started the scan sometime around this time last night, give or take an hour or two.

Did the computer do anything else at the same time as the scan? Is another antivirus program installed? Does other hard disk activities take long time, for example chkdsk, defragmentation?All of the above might influence the scanning time.. Windows XP 2GB RAM Nothing was running during scan I have trend micro installed, it may or may not have been doing a scan at the same time, I don't think so though.

But there isn't much junk on my PC I keep it pretty simple and clean Hi RichW, Many antivirus programs checks every file that is opened, read, written and/or closed by other programs.. That will certainly take long time A couple of years ago, I noticed in my own computer that the anti-malware program took 8 minutes to scan with the antivirus program running but only 2 minutes if I turned off the antivirus program first.. Ad-Aware also has a feature called sandbox, and certain files will be executed in the sandbox, which is more time consuming than only checking simple definitions as most antivirus programs do.. If Trend Micro does that with every file that Ad-Aware opens for scanning it means that every file in the computer is scanned both by Trend Micro (maybe several times) and by Ad-Aware.. [quote name='CeciliaB' post='126411' date='Apr 27 2011, 06:35 AM']If you minimize or close the user interface of Ad-Aware after starting the scan, Ad-Aware will enter 'idle mode scan' and it will only scan files when the computer isn't doing anything else and use as little CPU and memory as possible.. Unless for some reason it stopped scanning and started again, would it do that if the windows xp users is logged off or if windows is on idle? Note: Files on my computer aren't as much as an average computer, although because of my media there is a lot of hard drive storage taken up, on both drives.. Are you using Ad-Aware version 9 03 or 9 04? Earlier versions had more problems with cooperation with other antivirus programs.. This is very useful if you want to do other things with the computer during the scan but, of course, gives longer scan times. 5ebbf469cd
