I'm posting this topic here, after putting it under the wrong one a few minutes ago. Sorry for the confusion and I hope the mods don't mind. Also I see another topic here where someone's scan has gone overy 48 hours. YIKES! Is that what I'm looking at with my scan too? Hi! New here, though I've occasionally lurked as a guest. This is my first post and my topic title is my question. I have been receiving help from another forum for an infection issue, but every time I've tried to run MBAR it takes an incredibly LOOOOONG time . . . so long that I would think it wasn't working, so I would try to stop it and it would freeze up my computer. My helper couldn't advise me on the potential time frame to complete the scan, so I though maybe you guys/gals could give me a hint. He said as long as it was scanning to let it continue, which totally makes sense. It stays on one item for a long time, then when I check it again it has moved on to another item, so I know it is still scanning. However, the scan has been going on for over 20 hours! It now says it is scanning registry and directory data. Could that mean it's nearing the end? Any idea how much longer (rough estimate)? Thanks so much!
