There is still something odd here. On my system, with ZoneAlarm,
the virus scan is what takes the time (around half an hour, with the
.CAB files excluded from the scan, for around 170,000 files currently).
The _spyware_ scan is an almost trivial afterthought by comparison.
Again on my system, all files are scanned. I suspect I could scan
another few score thousand files, maybe even a few hundred
thousand, without becoming concerned about how long it took.
What kind of file, and what kind of spyware scanning software,
can lead to a time-consuming slowdown? Limited minds, at least
mine, want to know.
