Same here. Sometimes things get worse before they get better, if they ever do.

I was just working with a machine, not brand new, and not highest spec--dell
sx260--that does a quickscan in a minute and a half. Not sure I've ever
done a full scan on it.

My last quikscan took about 15 minutes, 40 k items, lst night 5 hours 900 k
items. I wish they didn't get rid of the full log. I am trying to remember
the numbers. I'll bet there is a log but hidden. Wonder what it is?

Quickscan, I think, will vary mostly by how many startup items you have. My
example was an office machine with very little loaded on it--nothing down
there in the tray.

Full scans can be very long, depending on number of files. And number of
files includes everything in an ISO or a ZIP file.
