Try the default scan without the PUP, rootkit full, autostart, modules in memory, high heuristics, test whole files, scan all files, content. Set heuristics to normal.
Default quick scan settings:
- System drive
- Rootkits (very quick scan)
- Auto-start programs
Full scan:
- All harddisks
- Rootkits (quick scan)
- Auto-start programs and modules loaded in memory
Better now?
Manual scans inspect inert files stored on the hard drive, opens them, and scans contents and other data in memory. The modified settings you are using do not provide any increased protection over protection provided by real-time scanning when any file is called for and run. Manual scanning is much depreciated over real-time scanning as that is your primary defence against malicious files. So, it is the real-time scanner that really protects you, not the extensive modification of default scanner settings.
I run a quick scan at default settings once a week only. See above.
[EDIT:] Fixed typo.
