Man alive, perhaps I’m just impatient and/or lazy, but I only do a boot time scan very occasionally. Once I’ve been given the all clear, say after an major update, that’s it for a while. Apart from the scans taking forever, I can’t see that there’s a necessity to do it unless there’s a hint that you may be infected. I personally think once a week is really overdoing it unless you have call to…but then I’ll happily be contradicted by others who believe differently. But, consider this, what’s the point of all that real time protection if not to protect a clean system from becoming infected?

As has been mentioned above, I would also recommend (not that what I say has any weight) using CCleaner for scrubbing the temporary internet files. It works for me. Well, I haven’t been infected in over ten years (CCleaner hasn’t been around as long as that of course), so I must be doing something right :slight_smile:
