Haven't used AVG for a while but decided to give it another try after a disastrous Norton experience. But I'm finding much less control options which I suppose I can live with but my real challenge is that while a FULL SCAN previously took 2-3 hours overnight now has been running for 7 HOURS and can't seem to get past 9 PERCENT! There is nothing different in my computer or storage. Is this common to the new ZEN setup or is there possibly some other problem?
