Whether external drives are included in the scan. cab, archived, compressed, packed, email, etc) that are scanned. Disk size and used capacity (number of files that have to be scanned). What action has to be performed when malware is detected. Type of scan performed: Deep, Quick or Custom scanning. Options to scan memory, boot sectors, registry and alternate data streams (ADS). Options to scan for rootkits, adware, riskware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPS). The program itself and how its scanning engine is designed to scan: using a signature database vs heuristic scanning or a combination of both. The speed and ability to complete an anti-virus or anti-malware scan depends on a variety of factors. Although my objective is to get the antivirus to scan quicker, and any help on that subject will be greatly appreciated. Moved from Win 7 to AV/AM Software - Hamluis. Thank you very much for all the help I may receive. If seccender.exe does not appear in the Task Manager, the cmd will be invalid.Īlthough my objective is to get the antivirus to scan quicker, and any help on that subject will be greatly appreciated, I would also like to know how to change the priority in any specific process. Task Manager was always set to show processes from all users in order to recognize Administrator privilege and Bitdefender was clicked in order to show the "seccenter.exe" process. I tried this both in normal mode and in safe mode without success. I have used the elevated cmd prompt: wmic process where name="seccenter.exe" CALL setpriority 128ġ28 is high priority and the cmd syntax requires the use of those quotation marks I also tried changing the affinity so that the process would run in only one core (or two cores), but that didn't work either. But when I reboot to normal mode the priority has gone back to normal. In normal mode I am not allowed to change the priority. Task Manager calls this priority "Normal".
Whereas in Task Manager all other processes are at 0% of CPU, the Bitdefender process ("seccenter.exe") is running at 01%. But it takes a lot of time to perform a system scan. When running the Bitdefender Total Security Antivirus I do it with no other processes running.
