This behaviour might be changed in a future release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand I&amp;#39;m concerned about the long scan time. A fresh installed system scans in about 1 - 1.5 hours (single partition volume).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which Sophos Anti-Virus version do you run and which OS version are you using?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
