That might be hard for some people, even I forget to scan some days.

I think most users of Immunet may not go into the settings to turn on the offline scanners in online cloud antivirus because they are afraid they may mess something up.

Probably scanning new files on their PC with an antimalware like Malwarebytes would be simpler for some users instead of turning ON the optional offline scanner setting in cloud antivirus programs.

Software says they only scan new files, but I sometimes feel from the amount of time it takes they still scan every if not critical file.

It is annoying how long some antivirus take to scan. I think it can sometimes take a day to scan very large hard drives.

Depends on the size and files and how old it is, I've seen some scans take up to 3 days.

I think Spybot antispyware and Malwarebytes seem to take the longest to do a full scan where they can take many hours to days.

Malwarebytes can be fast and spybot takes forever, no matter what pc it is on.
