If u run multiple scanning would it cause your computer to perform each scanning more slowly than usual?

Question

i did scan my comp with 4-5 different softwares and i felt like it took longer than usual..

Answer 1

If you did all the scans at the same time then it would most likely slow your computer down.

If you did them individually then its hard to say if one would take more time than another. It depends what they are scanning for. Some just do viruses whilst some do spyware too. So the more things it is scanning for the longer it will take to do it.

Answer 2

Yes it will, they use many resources while scanning.Only run one scan at a time.
