Scan Local Drives - Does it Pick up where it left off, or do you have to start all over again?

corcoraniii

I started the "Scan Local Drives" several times over the year since I purchased it, but never had days and days to let it finish.  Does it pick up where it left off when you quit or shut down the machine, or does it start all over again from the begining when I start Scan Local Drives again after the machine is restarted?

If I am going to have to leave my machine on for several days and nights to complete the scan, the software is impractical and of little use.

I started the scan this morning (about 9:00 am) and it is now 4:30 pm.  It looks like it is 1/10th done.  Is this normal?  If it is, how do I get my money back?

    Hello, John,

                          I am using the free version for Mac. I ran the "scan local drives" - "scan all files & folders on this mac" last week for the first time & it told me there were 3 million plus items.

    I started the scan at 1208 & it finished at 2111 with the message " no theats detected"

    Good Luck
