66hour scan
« on: October 02, 2011, 10:53:25 AM »
Hi Guys,

Just downloaded the Mac beta version of avast and set it to do a full system scan. Here are the results:


scanned files: 52687891: Found infections: 853  (this is on a 2 month old mac)
scan duration: 66h 18min 36sec

Now to have a scan take this long simply is not on. Apart from anything else it reduces the usefulness of the computer virtually taking it out of use.
Having found 853 infections i cannot do anything with them as the buttons at the bottom of the scan screen are grey'd out. Is this because the program is in beta?

Testing Beta versions of any product should only be used on test machines in my opinion,
Not on a new system, you are just a guinea pig.
Most sites warn about testing Beta versions & I hope Avast does the same.
Good luck this wont be your only issue I am sure of that.
