Total Used Space is 26.8 GB of 37.2 GB, but what is also weird is the scan log says it scanned over 5 million files, but I don't have 5 million files on the server unless it counts other things as files.

the system is Windows 2003 Standard, with 1.8 GHz CPU and 1 GB RAM

Do you have a lot of compressed files on the machine? ISO'S? Zips? Also are you scanning network/mapped drives? If so, these things can cause long scan times.

I m also facing same problem. cpu core2duo 1gb ram.8 gb data and takes 4 to 5 hours to scan

i m using sep 11 mr4

Not too many compressed files...there are about 70 zip/compressed files and no ISOs.  Also no network drives are mapped...I guess symantec counts up the files inside the zip and when I counted the files, I only counted the one file, but I can't imagine there are 5 million files in the the 70 zip files.  Does symantc log detail of the scan as to what files are being scanned?

Also another note...I see a bunch of these warnings in the event logs and I wondering if this could one of the reasons the scan could be taking a long time,

Could not scan 221 files inside C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\public\WEB-INF\patches\4-0-499\agentPatch.jar due to extraction errors encountered by the Decomposer Engines.

We have a lot .jar files on the server and they are some kind of compressed file so if this the case we have more the 70 compressed files, but I am wondering if it is also able to get into some of the .jar files and this is why it is scanning so many files...

I will try one night without scanning the compressed files and see if the number goes down.
