Anti-virus Keeps Running

I have Bitdefender for MAC. On the 1st go the virus scan ran for around 30 hours before it stopped. Since then, every time it runs, it does the whole lot again. Surely it should only do what it hasn't scanned already? It also badly slows my computer down so I can't do much else at the same time.


Is this what the virus checker should be doing each time? If not, how do I fix it? If so, then it ###### - 30 hours every time is just ridiculous.


HELP! <img class=" />

    Take care.


    My OS is 10.7.3. My HDD is (about) 650GB, and my external harddrive appears to be the same capacity, but I am not so literate on the MAC.

    Hello :)


    The external drive is always connected when you run a scan?


    Thank you.

    Thank you.

  • Yes, the external drive is connected, but I now have it listed in exclusions for scanning to see if that would help. It didn't.

    Hello :)


    Welcome back.


    Could you please run the scan without the HDD plugged in?


    Thank you.
