I am running first scan on an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ [Orleans, 1C/1T]. 4GB DDR2 800Mhz.
System is useable, but MS Defender is taking quite a long time for a "quick" scan. Maybe it is not getting along that well for uniprocessor cpus.
PS - And it lies to you. It said 3 minutes... LOL.
Usually an antivirus/antimalware program will take longer when the drives are large-capacity, have a lot of data or there's several drives to check, I see that on my main computer that has 2 External USB drives of 4TB each and one Internal SATA 1TB drive. A really time-consuming check is when having issues and doing the deep/full scan.
Not helpful, I know...
Out of curiosity/fun, I just ran a 'quick scan'...
16633 files scanned/scan lasted 18 seconds.
Subsequent runs take fewer time. Just about 1 minute and a half.
I had a similar issue with an i7 on laptop with 4GB RAM. First quick scan is somewhat slow. So it must be something related to latest antimalware platform or something.
