wow, that's a freakin long time.

How much ram and processor speed do you have available?
Anything else running in the background that might use up resources?

Even with archive checking it shouldn't take that long.

this is my computer. substitute 1GB RAM for 512MB.

hmm. okay, you've got a good system then. not sure what the hell's up with it but who knows. :(

possibly it could be the AVG program itself. I use Zonealarm Security Suite with antivirus protection and it takes about 20 minutes to scan my drives(120gigs) including archive files.
and I only have a 1.2ghz AMD chip + 1gig ram.

I'm thinking the program then since you'v got plenty of horsepower.

prolly.
and i'm sorry but i refuse to use anything by zonealarm. all it's given me is headaches from other somewhat novice computer users asking why they can't get to their favorite websites. or download zip files from my website. i think it sucks, but it just might be that i don't know how to use it correctly.

it took me 3 months to train zonealrm to do what I wanted it to. and only then because I tweaked the hell out of it. lol
I had to bitch to the company to get them to send me a paper manual when I bought the suite software. the free version however, sucks royal ass.

i see.

i think my friend has the subscription service, and then it lapsed. so... yeah. sucks ass.
