| 1275337 | 2012-05-14 20:22:00 | Doing a quick scan isnt very useful and yes full scans do take alot longer. I set mine to do a full scan at 5:00am every monday. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1275338 | 2012-05-14 20:23:00 | you don't have to watch it, just set it going and walk away. And a full scan will take just as long whether or not you've done it before, it's all about how much it has to scan and how fast the drives and system are. |
