Lacey 0 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I downloaded the free trial yesterday and ran an initial scan. It's currently been running over 15 hours now and has only gone through 275,000 files. I just purchased this computer in July and do not have many files or anything stored on here yet. This run-time length seems wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,693 Posted October 6, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2020 On my machine about 28,000 files were scanned in 1 minute. That said, scanning 275,000 files could take about 9 minutes. How long does it take to scan the C : drive if you run a custom scan, select only the C : drive to scan using the Smart scan profile?

itman 1,538 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 On my Win 10 x(64) 2004 build: 1. Default SmartScan profile which includes registry and WMI scanning, a scan of 221, 326 files took 36 mins.. 2. A prior custom scan excluding registry and WMI scanning of 249,702 file took 12 mins.. Bottom line - registry and WMI scanning increases scanning times by a factor of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
