| AVAST Anti-Virus Sure does take a long time. I have yet to complete a "full scan"; vice a "quick scan," which only took a few minutes. On average, how long does the full scan take?

| Depends on many things. Size of your HD, amount of data/files etc. you have stored etc.

| Bit Defender would usually take close to 2 hours for a full scan

If Bit Defender only takes two hours; or two hours at minimum, I might try that. It's an anti-virus/malware protection, like AVG and Adaware, right?

| Download the free version of Malwarebytes and run that first and CCleaner as well.

| I'm sorry, but I just can't get serious about a program named AVAST. I have an image in my mind of some little bits running thru my computer with swords and eye patches yelling "AARRRRrrrgggg!!" DEEKAYPEE8569 and Radiant1 like this.
