I'm doing a spysweep. Why is it taking so long?

Question

It has been 3 hrs. now. It has never taken this long.

Answer 1

Did you do a deeper sweep than usual? That will check more places.

That or the spies are actually ninjas. You can't catch ninjas.

Answer 2

It's probably that you've got more files in your computer since your last spysweep. My last computer had around 23,000 files or something to go through, and would take over an hour and a half. It could be doing a more thorough search & if it has found something it may be trying to see if there are more spyware of it's type.
