For me (around2003) a Malwarebytes scan is about 3 hours.

Dang, my old clunker Gateway must be really screaming, LOL.

When I run Malby, I have nothing else running, not even screen saver.
2 1/2 hours is normal for a full scan on C drive 32 Gb.
I don't usually scan the other partitioned drives on the primary drive or the secondary hard drive.
I figure if something is going to get you, it's going to get you on C.
On my wife's Win 7 machine, I scan the whole computer, both the primary SSD and the secondary hard drive because it just flies through it so fast, 45 minutes for everything.

It’s running so slowly, I was able to copy by hand one particular scanned file...

C:\Users\DJ\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5\U3Y3LOF8\imp[1].css

I mean, what is this junk ?
