How long does the MSRT take to run on average?

Dear Jack1000,
If the choice is a "deep scan", it takes hours and definitely is a test of patience. i think it is because MSRT has a huge malware/virus database. I have found out that a "quick scan" is no good.

A quick scan is done silently when you get the updated version of mrt,

For me a full scan takes about an hour but everyone will have different results depending on some things,

For example the scan probably goes fast for me because I am only using 27.1GB of my HDD,

and actually their database isn't that big at all, it only removes specific targeted infections,

The list of what it detects is on the link I posted earlier which isn't all that long compared to others like SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or an average anti-virus for example.
