Whenever I run the full virus scan, it spends a disproportionate amount of time showing 0%, before showing any positive %s. Yesterday, I had an extreme example: it spent all of its time at 0% before suddenly completing. What is happening during that 0% phase, some kind of preparation for the real scan? If so, it would be more helpful to show the scan as a two-phase process with a progress indicator for each phase.
The rootkit scan.
That’s an extremely important part of the scan, so why is it not counted as part of the whole scan, and only merits 0%?
Yep. Guess there’s no way to time/calculate it.
I notice that the full virus scan no longer spends a long time at 0%, but quickly moves on to 1% etc. I’d love to think that this was a result of my raising the topic, but that’s too much to hope for, so I suspect the reason is more prosaic. Does anyone know?
Well, it got fixed.
