How long does full system scan take?
Hello, I'm using a Mac, 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, OS Ventura 13.7.4. As it was running a bit slow I decided to do a full system scan, So far this has been running for over 90 hours, has scanned 21 million files and only seems to be about half-way through. Is this normal? Regards.

Can someone confirm that Email Protection doesn’t work for the Mac Mail email platform?
I can read, so I see that it works for Windows and Gmail. I’m just surprised (and disappointed) to have the feature touted to me as a Mac user and Bitdefender subscriber when it doesn’t protect the most common Mac email platform.
