Is there a way to configure & run a scheduled scan that is not so "full"?
My full scan takes ~ 5 hours and goes through every nook and cranny and probably evens checks for dust under the desk
BTW, hello & thanks to all.
There could be a lot a variables which contribute to such. High Latency, your preferred settings, and OS.
I am running "McAfee Total Protection" on Windows 7 Sp1, set at "Using minimal resources. My scans generally take 59 minutes/1 hour 10 mintues.
In addition it could be due to your specific amount of files. If you have an issues of "Hang Time" @ 98%/99% , this is a known issue and you could try the recommended work-around :VirusScan stops scanning at 98% or 99% complete
Also you can open your McAfee User Interface, and configure your Scan Settings.
In addition, you can click on (Help), then click on( Help) again and a pane should open to give you a "Step by Step" guide on how to configure/better understand your features.
I hope this helps in some way.
All the best

I also should say that you can configure a "Custom Scan" as well.

Cat, I should have originally asked how one can schedule a custom scan.
Nothing in the Custom Scan dialogue box has settings that lets one set up a schedule.
I'm having other problems with Full Scan and Updates; once I get those bugs worked out,
I'll just set a schedule for a Full Scan and leave be of it all, good enough. And I do thank
your for your help so far.
Hi Tincup,
Thank you for your response. So can we assume this thread as Answered? Hence, you can continue with
