Question by : why and how did PC tools spyware doctor took over 5 hours to scan the whole computer?
it was ridiculous speed. in the end 21 infections were found. Why it took such long time to scan? isn’t that a very inferior performance?

i emailed spyware doctor saying that it took 5 hours time and its too slow but i never get any reply back.

Well it depends on how many files you have it scan. Doing a full system scan over 200GB of data is going to take a very long time reguardless of what program you use. For the most part just do a weekly Intelli-Scan and every month or so do a full system scan. It is not inferior in any way shape or form. I have used Spyware Doctor for over 2 years and nothing has escaped it yet. It also will go slower if you have tons of programs opened and running as well
