Baron, yes, it would take 3 hrs to do a deep scan of almost 1.5 million files. I have a millon less and it takes 58 min. That's why I auto run it everyday at 5 am.

Diana, you have both way too many files, amazing numbers.
 I checked and found out I have around 200.000 which takes around 20 minutes, same time-consuming. Regards, René |

 AVG Antivirus scans my system in about 86 minutes. |

Yes, and AVG degrades system performance while it runs. This is the primary reason why I don't use it.
A lower priority scan takes longer, but doesn't make your computer unusable. |

Run a scan when you don't use your computer.
