AVG 9.0 Faster Scanning Features

Nov 03, 2009

With the number of threats increasing daily and more and more of AVG

customer prefer a daily scan and on the go, AVG decided to increase

the scan speed in the upgrade AVG 9.0. It saves time and users and

quickly performe a scan and go on with their daily work using the

computer. As advised in the website www.avg.com, the new version has

high speed scanning performance.

In regards to yor concern, This happens due to new feature of AVG. Basically at the first time you initiate AVG scan, It will scan whole computer files and folders. Upon intitiating the next or future scan, AVG will only scan the files which has been modified regardless by system level or Users of the computers. Therefore, We believe is useless to scan the whole computer again and again which will be only be time consuming. This scan is based on your local Hard drive NTFS journal cache on the computer where by future scanning will be based on the file or folder modification on your computer.

Some of you lately asked me, Why AVG scans takes longer time then the second scanning. Why is Future Scan faster ? Below is some of the raw data some of you had emailed me.

1.First time Scan Files : Approximately 900,000 Files

Time accomplished : 4 Hours 23 minutes.

2. Next Scan or Future Scaning: Approximately 400,000 Files

Time accomplished : 1 Hours 03 minutes.

Questions:

a. What happen to the remaining files ?

b. Why AVG did not scan the whole computer ?

c. Is the files been deleted ?
