@TomFace, I also have lifetime licenses for MBAM for our computers. I have not seen any problems between the two programs and they are both running full time. Karly

@TomFace, No offense was taken. I only meant that I was not very familiar with the different aspects of the program even though I have been using it on two computers for a number of years. I guess I should have explained my knowledge of the program better than my comment about being a novice which I did know meant I was a new poster. I also use Malwarebytes and have for many years and find it interesting that the two programs don't always alert to the same problematic websites which is a good thing. They are set up with different parameters. Thanks again, Karly

@TomFace, You have noticed that I am listed as a "novice".... I finally found the settings for the different scans and it appears that I am running a Smart Scan and the scan screen lists "scan all local disks and clean threats" I need to change the sleep time to get the scan to finish without hanging out all night like some hussy. Thanks for helping me figure out what was going on.

I read the article. However, my hours are not the same everyday; and since I sometimes come down to use the computer in the middle of the night, this doesn't seem like a working proposition for me. I never changed the settings for scans; so it is apparently the most recent program update that has made this change to the longer scans whereas before it only took about 20 minutes or so. I run the scan manually anyway; so I will run it during the daytime when I am at the computer and hope that ESET comes with an alternative to the long scan time with their next reiteration. Thanks, Karly

@AGH1965Yes, I actually left the room so I wouldn't touch the mouse or keyboard. Sorry for the delays in answering. Friend in hospital. I ran defrag and chkdsk and no errors came up, uninstalled the last program I put on the computer; but no changes to long scan time.

I set the sleep time to 5 minutes and the scan was still running after 12 minutes; so the sleep setting is not the apparent problem. I'm still puzzled by the banner at the bottom that says the scan may take a while, etc. This is new along with the much longer scan time. Shall I uninstall and reinstall the program?

I start a scan when I leave the computer in the evening with the option to reboot or shut down when done; however, the scan is still running in the morning. This has been going on for several days. The scans are running about 7+ hours; I'm assuming that the computer goes to sleep before the scan finishes. The screen shot shows the message that has appeared at the beginning of a scan that is new along with the extended scan time.

Everything is working fine. The banking protection works with bookmarks now. Thanks again.

I don't think I have ISO images as I understand them; but the scan just finished in 2 hr and 13 min scanning 300,544 items. Must have looked in every nook and cranny for items to scan. I need to restart the computer before I can see if the banking protection is functional. Thanks.

I have reinstalled ESET and the initial scan is running and is at almost 2 hours. Is this usual?

OK, will do tomorrow when mind is fresher....

For several days, my ESET banking & payment protection has been hanging up when I try to open my bookmarks. I can manually enter websites; however, would like to be able to use bookmarks. Do I need to re-install the program?
