Hi Guys
I have been using Avast free edition 6.0.1.367 for about nine months now and have found it to be very good. When I do a full scan on my "C" drive (465Gb 25% used) it take in excesss of 2.5hrs. I don't remember it taking this long initially.
Is there something wrong or is this normal. If it is then I think I will go back to AVG although I don't want to.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

Hi Asyn
Thanks for a quick reply.
My Avast is always updated regularly and I still have the problem.

Hi Asyn

As I said, I dont remeber it taking this length of time when I first started using it.

When did you run the last full scan..??

Asyn - I did it this morning
What difference does that make then. Avast is up to date and it still take a long time.
