@Tech Geek Can u tell me how a boot time scan can slow down a PC

what @Tech Geek tried say was, a BOOT TIME scan will SLOW down the Windows Booting (loading).

that is , without the boot-time scan->say, it takes just 40 seconds for Windows to boot. now if u enable boot-time scan->it'll take anywhere from 2 Minutes to 4 minutes.

btw, now a days, there is very very less Virus Threats which load(start infecting) on system start-up.

my opinion, disable the Boot-time scan.

It will scan ur system only once not all time before boot
