Hi Folks,
I just scanned my computer with Windows Defender. It took about four
hours to scan about 170,000 objects. Does that sound a little off to
anyone here? Shouldn't it have scanned more objects in a shorter period
of time? Other scanners I use scan upwards of a million objects in two
and a half hours. Is it even worth it to fool with Windows Defender?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
