So no ESET Online Scanner. :p

How often do you run herdProtect, and how long does it take to complete?

Its Scan speed is as fast as Hitman Pro, It take around 5 minutes to scan.
Weekly.

For me "HerdProtect" took about a hour, I am sure it is different for everyone though.

The 1st Scan take more than an hour but after first scan all other scans are very fast.
