[QUOTE="plat, post: 857931, member: 74969"] No, I should apologize, I actually did not direct my response to you. Kaspersky is better-optimized than Defender anyway. My comment was strictly about Defender and its at-times hours-long full scans and meant "you" as in general "you." :) I have a fairly strong machine and I recall way in the past, a full scan w/Defender took well over one hour. :rolleyes: I mean, what if you need to log off and the scan is still running? HitmanPro takes about 45 seconds. Same for Norton. [/QUOTE]
