Skipped Files
I just noticed a Deepscan I've done took less than 6 minutes and skipped searching most of my files.
Scan time: 00: 05: 56
Files per second: 257
Skipped items: 408930
Password-protected items: 0
Over-compressed items: 0
Scanned archives: 1
Input-output errors: 0
Scanned boot sectors: 3
Scanned processes: 2625
Infected processes: 0
Scanned registry keys: 2716
Infected registry keys: 0
Scanned cookies: 0
Infected cookies: 0
Is there a setting that I've missed? What's going on?

Under Antivirus-->Shield-->Custom Level, if you have Scan only new and changed files (for increased performance) checked, then the scan will skip unchanged items since the last scan.
I have that option checked and get similar results:
Scan time: 01: 54: 28
Files per second: 86
Skipped items: 32477
Password-protected items: 5
Over-compressed items: 0
Scanned archives: 40114
Input-output errors: 0
Scanned boot sectors: 4
Scanned processes: 3369
Infected processes: 0
Scanned registry keys: 11108
Infected registry keys: 0
Scanned cookies: 115
Infected cookies: 4
Note that I have an older, slower PC, only 86 files per second.

Appreciate the info.
Probably what I had checked in 2011. Got too frustrated before your reply and downloaded 2012.
2012 resulted in stalled loading of webpages that needed to be constantly refreshed. Gave up and downloaded a copy of Essentials. Maybe I'll try 2012 again in the future.Under Antivirus-->Shield-->Custom Level, if you have Scan only new and changed files (for increased performance) checked, then the scan will skip unchanged items since the last scan.
