[dba-Tech] Interesting Vipre behavior

John,

Defrag is probably a good idea for Janet's PC.  She does a LOT with
graphics and music.  She constantly has to off-load excess stuff to
DVD or a backup drive.

For now I've got her system running "Quick" scans overnight...just
takes a couple minutes.

The scan "only" takes around 3 hours, but that's at the same time as the spyware scans from Ad-Aware, Spybot and ZoneAlarm (I scan my pc religiously once a week, on Saturday nights). I'm going to upgrade to a Quad Core 2.66 next week (I just got my bonus!), so it'll be interesting to see how that affects scanning speed.
