SAS-fan Posted April 18, 2008 SAS has been lightning fast on my vista sytem. Full system scans have been taking less that 20 minutes (though last nights took 40 minutes for some reason). However, for more than the last month full system scans on my XP system have been taking well over an hour. The last few days scans have taken 2+ hours. Any idea what the problem could the problem be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea what the problem could the problem be? What has changed on the system? Are you running any new security software or did you change any program scanning control options?

SAS-fan Posted April 18, 2008 Pretty much all the same software: Antivir, Sandboxie, Zone Alarm, and SAS. All products I believe have receive updates in the last month. Still 1.5-2 hour scans on a relatively fast system seems abnormal. I can't seem to figure out what has changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SAS-fan Posted April 18, 2008 No, I have always done a Complete system scan. So everything else seems to be the same. Question: how would we know if SAS was getting hung up on a particular file or if it was taking abnormally long to scan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
