    Long scan times

    @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.

    This article assumes the user wants to control sleep and wakeup times on his device to perform select activities. 

    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

    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.
