That depends on the speed of your system, and the number AND type of files, and partitions on your HD.
EXAMPLES:
I have a system with a 1GHZ CPU with a 80GB HD, 6 partitions, 20,000 files, and a FULL scan, including "archive" files, such as zips, will take about 1 1/2 hours.
I have another with a 4GHZ CPU, a 300GB HD, 4 partitons, 5,000 files, but some VERY large files, and a FULL scan as above takes over 4 hours.
Basically, it takes as long as it takes!!

really depends on how much stuff you have on the drives... I have 3 80g hds two with about 50% and 1 with 25% and norton takes about 35 mins to do full scan course processor speed will be a factor too.

How much hard drive space can a PC hold?? Your virus scan could take an hour or a week, and the PC may crash several times in the process. If the info has clean backup, format the drive, reload Windows and run the virus scan
