Scan Duration Information
A Spybot System Scan only scans for active malware on a running system. That is why this System Scan does not last hours like it might happen with traditional anti-virus scans.
When starting a scan the user will be asked whether he wants to scan his system with a standard System Scan for active malware. This is recommended for regular users. In case the user wants to scan just a few files or inactive samples he is recommended to use the File Scan.
