Avast scans are really slow
Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2017 2:25 am
Greetings!
I'm finding Avast scans to be glacially slow. After 60 hours it still has not completed a scan of my 3.57 TB of data. Scanning all the data shares from my PC with Windows Defender surpasses Avast in 16 minutes compared to the 60+ hour Avast has been running. All this time and the drives can't spin down or the system sleep. Plus if I restart while a scan is in progress I'm left with a zombie entry that can't be stopped or removed. Avast doesn't seem use-able to me.
Any one using another anti-virus or getting this one to perform with reasonable speed?
