Sandi, I run the Standard test once a week, but I'm not talking about that part of the settings. Look for a button called Settings or Advanced (it's been a while since I made the changes) to get to the options I mentioned in my last reply. Incidentally, I run a Thorough scan about once every month or two, depending on how much the partition was used (I have a lot of partitions and some get checked more often than others).

Mine is set to standard but I did a thorough yesterday and it took a very long time.
