Scan-time
« on: July 07, 2006, 07:05:48 PM »
I found that the scan-time taht avast! spending is up to the size of files ,not up to the number of files.
I did use some Anti-virus software before,and the scan-time of that software is  up to the number of flies.
which is better,or effectual in anti-virus?up to size or up to number?
what is your opinion~~~

Maybe the scanning time depends on the number (and, consequently, the size) of the archive files.
The many archives you have, the long the scanning will be.
Time of on-demmand scanning depends on some other factors (other running programs, resources at your computer, etc.).
Anyway, avast is not a faster on-demmand scanning, on contrary, it could be very very better on this point  8)

Do you want a slow on-demmand scanning? Try ClamWin  8)

thanks for your opinion

I agree that speed is not the most important factor we appraise one software is good or not.
but admittedly,time is important for us .The size of Hard Disk increases very day.It is hard to think one day we spend 2 or 3 hours even much more time to run a full scan on our HDD. If so ,I`d rather to install Windows  again .

do you like to spend 2 or 3 hours to run a scan ? what do you think.

I must go to bed.see you tomorrow (my local time ^_^)~Good night!

No I don't like. I run 'scheduled' scannings at night with the Pro version  8)
Anyway, my scannings generally take over 2 hours even at night.

And i am afraid my pc will shut down itself when the temperature of  my pc is too high for it  to work.

Same as Tech here. Systems are up and running 24/7.
No problems at all.
Just keep them cool, that's all.
And when cooling a system, the airflow is the most important thing.
Not the amount of fans.

THIS is a good website that can help.

We're ocidentals are quite strange, aren't we?  ;D
Well. I shut down it almost every night. But some nights, I let it downloading big things, scanning, defragmenting...
We should save some energy... anyway, you can always shut down your monitor at night and save power  8)

Hi bearhead001...

I've never known defragmenting to cause any kind of damage to a hard drive.  :)

Best Regards....
