virus programme question

depends also on how much data its scanning, what default scan is used, plus speed of drive being scanned, also some engine scan faster than others
 
thanks for replies..

i use AVG and Malwarebytes and after a reset the other week i have less amount of files than i did over last 3-4yrs and i know things like that can take its time, was just curious as to whether it was a self doing thing or can be sped up by user.. i use a laptop, so have a 5200rpm HDD.
 
don't do a full scan - problem fixed.... unless you turn it off all files get scanned whn accessed anyway

or

do a scan overnight when you are not using the machine
 
malware i always do quick scan, but with AVG i notice it only does full scan..

i only use these 2 because they free and worked out well for me over the years, i just dont know if theres any better/quicker and still free as i installed something before and got adware and crap like that, so was gone instantly(was free still). i used to have norton 360 when i brought the computer, but after the year sub ended i got rid at which point i opted for the free stuff i currently use..
