First scan taking very long

[Confused Computer User]

ah ... right ..but below that you see the following

Scanned count: 8709
Infected Count: 0
Task name: Resident protection
Run time: 1:23:10:20 (and counting)

This does not look like something you would see during the boot time scan or the standard scan in Avast. Am I making a mistake? It does state "Task name: Resident protection"

Yes.  that is the screen I see. 

The thing I was pointing to and bkaylor confirmed is attached at the bottom of this post.

I'm getting lost. If the computer runs non-stop for 2 days, won't the Resident protection run for that long?

Yes, you are correct in that resident protection will run for as long as the computer is running.

Maybe I mis-understood what bkaylor was talking about.

I believed the same thing initially but after several questions and the fact that a thorough scan should not take this long as well as what  bkaylor said before I was certain he was referring to the standard shield. I believe that you have more experience than me so when you started asking questions  I thought I made a mistake so I wanted to make sure ...

I appreciate the feedback.  I'm unsure now if I have a problem.  The computer is running fine; it isn't running slow.

thanks
