    I actually re-installed it after being asked by a staff member here to try a scan on a single folder and see if anything happened. It was a small 28mb picture folder and it scanned fast with no issues. When I scanned a larger 40+gb folder with dmg's it took 2hours to scan that folder and brought the temp of my mbp up to 208* F. I've got a 500gb HD, so at 2 hours for 41gb I'm looking at a 20 hour scan for my entire drive.

    I would be interested though to hear how others make out with full system scans.
