[QUOTE="Randy B.

Unless you only scanned a small folder and nothing else. It isn't unusual for a VB scan to take several hours. Once you do a full disk scan, after that you can set VB just to scan new files as they come in in your Downloads folder, which will save a lot of time. Sometimes scans can get quite long if VB gets stuck on encrypted files, or files that the system protects. VB will try to scan them until it times out, making your scan quite long. [/QUOTE]
