Hi,

 

Where is the rootkit scanning option in 1.86 version?

    Hi Janiashvili,

     

    Rootkit scanning has been removed from the UI as part of our continuous process of renovating our products and simplifying them. Rootkit scanning is still performed when Full System scan is run, so just the dedicated option has been removed.

    Now, I can not run rootkit scan anymore, as Full System scan takes almost ten hours.

     

     

    Thank you F-Secure, you're doing it wrong.

    Hello Janiashvili,

    Ten hours sounds indeed quite lengthy for a full system scan. Have you tried how long the Full System scan takes if you disable the archive scanning from the manual scan settings?

    Then, I think, it'll take a lot shorter time.

    And, from importance, does archive scanning do any good? I mean, the antivirus will scan archive on demand(in the opening), so what's the point of archive scanning?

    Alternatively, you can use Hitman pro cloud scanning for rootkit scanning.
