Lastly, Malwarebytes and Spybot do not take any longer to scan and do not show any "nasties". I am going to leave the issue for a few days and may get back to you.
#Super anti spyware for mac free plus
Maybe that is the reason for the time increase but 3 hours plus would seem to be an inordinate amount of time! This past figure stayed pretty constant since I downloaded SAS ages ago. The number given for file items scanned by the "full scan" has increased steadily over the past couple of weeks, and now the figure is around 3 times what it was in the recent past. The "quick scan" now takes slightly longer, than before, but scans the same number of file items on my PC.
I am sure SAS was updated fairly recently. I use SAS regularly and my operating system is Windows XP. I use CCleaner all the time so there are never any temporary internet files for the scanner to get through. In my opinion both Super and MBAM have a place in 'on demand scanners' that can be kept as part of a users arsenal. If you feel that there is even a remote possibility of nasties, post the two scans requested here into the Spyware Hell part of the forum and our Spyware Moderator can then make sure there is nothing hiding. Have you used it for a while now? Is it new behaviour? What operating system are you using? Do you use ccleaner? Just wondering if you perhaps have a lot of temp files etc for the scanner to get through.ģ hours does sound a little bit of a long time.
