where does malware go
I I recently had a slow computer. I use Win xp pro and have 160 meg hard drive. I suspected bad stuff so I ran my antivirus. But it took more than two days to finish. Is this a common problem now with large hard drives? Therefore, i wonder how should I customize the scan to check those parts of the PC that are most probably infected. I would like to get the scan down to less than 7 hours so I could do it overnight. Thanks Frank

It shouldn't take 2 days to do a full scan. But, what the Ghz of your computer?
