I don’t know what the processor is off the top of my head, but I know I don’t have 6Gb of memory. The scan is now at 2 hours, but it probably is running slowly. You can easily read out each individual part of the system it’s scanning. The Kaspersky ordinarily takes several hours to run as well. On the old computer, the last scan I ran with Webroot, it went over 13 hours.

I have a stupid question. Do you have any other programs running right now while scanning such as Windows media player or along that line?

Don't know what to tell you, but the old clunker I use, and I mean old (Pentium II, 400 Mhz, 13 years old), runs a quick Malwarebyte scan in 35 minutes and a full scan in 2 1/2 hours.

Something is eating up process time or you are having big time memory problems is all I can think of right now.
Did you run Kaspersky *TDSSKiller* free and stand alone to make sure you didn't have any *rootkit* type of virus messing with the registry, these are very nasty.
