first full scan is taking too long to complete; it use to take 40 minutes here, now it's already been 52 minutes since I started it and it's not over...
edit: finish with 54 min + an error on Thunderbird, it was running during the scan but that's happened before with no such error.
If you did a clean install then you wouldn't be benefiting from any previous versions persistent cache, hopefully that would over the next few scans restore the scan speed. Ensure that the Full Scan Performance settings use the 'Speed up scanning by using the persistent cache' and the 'Store data about scanned files in the persistent cache' options.
thanks for the tips
... chances are that I've noticed the existence of the persistence cache since October last year
>>> I was talking about a first full scan, I've been through many new installs of Avast 5/6 and yes... I also noticed what happens the next times, ie once the persistence cache has been populated
ps: if needed when I compared 40 to 52', that was comparing two very first full scans following new installs
