Am running the full dr scan, but its been scanning for nearly 8 hours and is only about 3 quarters done!
Has something gone wrong, or should it take so long?? It still seems to be scanning and hasn't obviously frozen or anything.
Am writing this on phone, as I can't access anything whilst scan is preforming.
Presuming the scan ever finishes do I delete everything it finds or cure or quaranteen it?0 -
12 hours is an average for a full dr web scan
Id quarantine everything personally:idea:0 -
right full scan done, it found 11 'things'
