I have Adaware on my system but am finding that thing takes forever—like 10 minutes to scan!

It is very frustrating as all it does is look for spyware items.

I wonder if anyone else finds this annoying?

There’s a command that allows you to have it perform a “smart scan” that only takes three to four minutes. I couldn’t find a description of how the “smart scan” differs from the complete scan, though I suspect it only checks areas of the computer which are most likely to have embedded spyware.
