How long does malwarebytes take to scan?

My computer's been sucking, so I installed malwarebytes. It's been 3 hours so far and it's not done yet.

Yes, it's the first one that pops up when you Google "Malwarebytes".

I haven't read anything about any fakes lately, but I do know there was one a while ago that appeared from somewhere.
As long as you got it from malwarebytes.org you should be good.

A full scan of the entire hard drive can take a long time, especially if you have a large hard drive.

And yes, be sure to always download from the links on the official site because there ARE fakes.

I don't even know.
I use Norton. That's probably why there are so many viruses.
