handmscott 0 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Simple question from a novice who is testing ESET for a month. How long does a computer scan last? I have run it for 24 hours and it still won't stop, Thank you for a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,718 Posted January 4, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2017 It depends on the number of files and the type of files. For instance, large archives or containers (e.g. iso images that may be several GB in size with dozens of thousands files inside) may take a long time to scan as each file needs to be extracted first and then scanned. You can try temporarily disabling scanning of archives just to see how much the scan time will drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFace 539 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 On average my in-depth scans take about 1H 45M and scan just over 1.7M objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
