Takes 14 mins.
&& You did a hacking trick !
Josh
Complete scan, 2 minutes exactly. No threats found. :-TU

HI all!
When I had cfp 3.0 installed on my Vista system it took for almost 1 hour to complete scanning. On my xp machine it takes for 1.5 hour for the scan to complete. The build in scanner never found a trace of malicious software on my machines.
But Soyabeaner, how is it possible for you scanner to complete within 6 seconds?? There has to be something wrong with your system or with your firewall!!
But then again, you could have a superfast computer, but I think you interrupted the scanner before completion in 6 seconds. Neat trick!
Have a nice day!

Something is definitely wrong with Soya’s scanning, and possibly also with yours, unless you have a very large disk or a really slow system…

6,000 files in 6 seconds is very fast. 6,000 files for me takes a minute, with a full scan 20 minutes. Soya do you have a newly installed super fast computer?
Other than nLiting my XP and all these slimming down tricks, I didn’t do any hacking! ;D. Intel P4 [at-bypass] 2.4 GHz single core.
This trick didn’t work with previous CFP versions. Maybe the new one is becoming smarter?
The first run usually ranges between 51 sec to 1 min + 12 sec, depending how many files I have. I regularly clear my browser cache, which reduced the number of files significantly. That’s what I did last night. Then I re-ran the scanner it’s much faster. I’m guess CFP3 now caches its scanning results during the OS logg on session?
Actually I have a verry large disk wich is having around 40% of free space. There are almost 1 million of files that has to be scanned1
I have more than 300 programs installed, and the pc is more than 5 years old, but it still works pretty darn fine!!
I guess maintenance does wonders!
Have a nice day!

If so that’s bad - very bad! Security software needs to operate on a real time basis, not base its output on what happened 10 minues ago.
Can you try and confirm this?

I already did this morning and it’s still the same :-X. Over 7100 files scanned just over a minute, and on the second consecutive re-scanned at 7 seconds.
It just took 1:58 to scan 13368 total objects on my recently nlited XP SP3, while it used to take 10-11 minutes on the original installation. Incidently, an Avast 4.8 boot-time scan used to take about 20-23 minutes or so but now this morning it only needed about 7 minutes.
Not sure if this really counts or not, but I go about 35 minutes or so into the scan when it just sorta hangs. Doesn’t say complete, just says it’s scanning a file (believe it’s in my C:\Windows\ folder, but the timer stops advancing. I still have the buttons on the bottom right to pause or stop the scan, so I just stop it and get on with my life. I forget how many files are scanned by that point, but it’s a lot. If I remember I’ll try another scan when I have the chance and update the specific info.
Heheh. Not a lot of users would’ve done what I did, especially if their scanning times took too long - there’s simply little to no incentive to perform 2 consecutive scans 
Really odd. First pass in 14:39 secs. Second pass (immediately after the first) 14:22 secs.
When I ran both passes, I had Task Manager open and it displayed what I assume is normal behaviour with large numbers of data read under the heading “I/O Other Bytes”.
Can you re-run and check whether there is actually data reported as being read in Task Manager as “I/O Other Bytes”?
Ewen
Yes there are input & output bytes.
The “only” things that have changed since the previous CFP versions are removed services/files/registries (but not Comodo related) from this thread. I’m suspecting maybe it’s due to that :-[. If there’s anyone else who might be able to replicate this, it’s LA because he’s removed more ;D.

Hmmmmm? Got me stuffed! Maybe throw this one at Egemen?
Ewen
Hang on, I can look into it soon (time shortage right now)
LA
On the first and second passes? And are they roughly similar quantities?
I can confirm Soya`s findings.2 scans 1 straight after the other.

Did you try doing this with Task Manager running so you could double check the figures under the heading “I/O Other Bytes”?
Strange, theres a difference of 10 in the number of files scanned.
Curiouser and curiouser said the cat.
