Why does it stop scanning for extended periods?

RobLewis

I started SAV on "Scan Local Drives" this morning (it's late afternoon now) and so far it's scanned less than 8% of my 5 million files. Oddly, it seems to just stop scanning for extended periods: the "Items Remaining" counter stops decrementing and nothing happens for several minutes. Then it starts up again. 

At this rate, it's going to take days to complete a scan, and meanwhile my system is rather sluggish. I don't even know if it's worth waiting for it to finish. 

Anyone else seen this?

    I just downloaded and started to use the SOPHOS program. I first put it on and decided to stop scanning as I didn't want to slow my system down while working. When I hit "stop scan" it stopped and told me I had three threats that needed to be eliminated. Last night i put it on and it's still at the 1,324,306 files remaining. I do have video files on the computer and music so i don't kwow if it takes more time to scan those heavier files.
