On WinXP, SP3, I'm running a boot scan with avast 5.0.462, and after 40 minutes, it was
still on 0%.
After it got out of the Docs&Settings folder, it picked up speed... now at 15% after 50 minutes.
I'm aware that boot scans are meant for cleaning infections, but it looks like you'd better have the whole day on hand to run a full system boot scan!
Anyone have any boot scan times to report?
Also I'd be interested in learning if boot scans are capable of finding infections that regular scans (with the OS fully loaded) don't catch?
I'm waiting for the 1 hour mark to post the % scanned.
Okay, 1 hour in and it is at 38%.
Final boot scan time 2hours 7 minutes. Not as terrible as I thought. 40 minutes and still on 0% had me worried!
