    Looking at the dslreports topic, it appears the scan speed is not a problem for everyone.

    Have you seen this topic:

    Cheers.
    OK very weird. Now, it is scanning within normal time on the Athlon 64 box.

    The only thing different was that I had the machine off when I went to work yesterday and didn't use IE during this session. I ran a scan, and no probelms with speed. I have no infections. Just cookies found and cleaned.

    For those with slow down problems, see if a reboot helps?

    I am not having any difficulty. Of course after the update it takes maybe a extra second or so because of the more definitons, but nothing like the 12 hours i have been hearing about.
    Are you being watched?

    Just finished mine with today's updates. It seems to be back to normal now.

    My scan times used to be 5 - 6 minutes. Now it's almost 20 minutes. No changes & my computer is clean. I think it's SSD's issue. Any comments or ideas? Thanks.
    There is no 100% software solution to safeguarding one's OS setup. Only redundancy in separate media i.e. another HDD, in my case. I clone (Acronis MigrateEasy) my HDD every 2-5wks.
