Michael,
How long it takes to run the Disk Sweeper will, of course, depend on how
large your disk drive is.
As for Will's comments about the Authorization key I have not been
burned - yet - by Norton Speed Disk nailing the key.
The key is incripted and hidden in such a way so no scoundrel can easily
get to it and copy it.
This whole miasma about the key is just like the locks on most doors,
they are there to keep the honest folks honest. Genuine criminals have
fifteen ways to get around them.
Back to the subject at hand, Hmm, I will have to give the Norton Speed
Disk some serious thought. Hmm, Cy, the Ancient One...
