With every system scan, Bitdefender will index the files that have already been scanned, and the scan time will greatly decrease.

The speed of a System Scan depends on many factors such as system specifications, large volumes of data, the computer resources in use by another software, it’s the first scan since installing Bitdefender, and most importantly, the number of archives & over-compressed files/backups. Why is my Bitdefender scan taking so long? A Quick Scan or Custom Scan completes successfully, but not a System Scan. It is still running after 12 hours of elapsed time, while the scanned items are rising very slowly. Alternately, a way to trigger Bitdefender to instantly scan the file would also be a viable solution.Why is my Bitdefender scan taking a long time to finish scanning the PC? On rare occasions, Bitdefender won’t complete a System Scan. This is the code that I've used to open the file, which does cause Bitdefender to scan and remove the infected file: Process cmd = new Process() Ī solution with System.IO.File.Open would be best for me in this situation, but I cannot figure out why it isn't working. However, I don't want to be doing that on the server. The only thing I got to work was creating a new process to open the file. Yet, nothing triggers bit defender to remove the file.

I have tried to use various ways to read/move the file with System.IO.File.Move/ Open/ ReadAllLines.

If I copy and paste the test virus file into the app_data folder directly then Bitdefender removes it instantly. If I do that, then it is instantly deleted. However, if there is a virus on it, Bitdefender does not delete this file, unless I go on the IIS and manually try to open/move the file. Var fileStream = new System.IO.FileStream(filename, System.IO.FileMode.Create,įileStream.Write(contents, 0, contents.Length) This is the code I use to write my file to the app_data folder: var filename = Server.MapPath('~/App_Data') + '/' thefilename
