I downloaded free-av and ran it on myt Vista machine. Of course I realize there is over a TB of drives which I had not detached but it ran for an hour and a half and I went to bed leaving it running. About halfway thorugh the test it apparently ran across something that looked like a virus and then stopped to wait for action . Needless to say it sat there all night until I got up i nthe morning 6 hours later. I much prefer to use AVG which runs through the entire test and then allows you to delete or VAULT the bummers.
