Scan - Performance
Manage these settings at: Menu ▸ Scan ▸ Scan for viruses ▸ <select scan type> ▸ Scan Settings ▸ Performance
Priority
Adjust the priority of the scan when other applications are running on your system. Click the orange bars to adjust the priority. Higher priority means the scan uses more system resources but takes less time when other applications are running.
Persistent cache
Persistent cache refers to storing information about files already verified as clean to speed up later scans.
- Speed up scanning by using the persistent cache - Files already verified as clean are not scanned again.
- Store data about scanned files in the persistent cache - New information about verified clean files is added to the persistent cache during the scan. This can slow down the current scan, but speeds up future scans when the option above is also enabled.
File Access
- Speed up scanning by reading files in the order they are stored on disk - This can speed up scanning by reducing the number of seek operations.
