Oh dear.
You're scanning your LINUX file system here, aren't you?
I think you may have missed a little something here. There are no linux
viruses, and the virus scanners "for linux" are meant to scan WINDOWS files
and executables. It's simply a huge waste of time to scan your linux files.
I suggest you change the above to just scan the subdirectories you use to
store MS docs and exe:s. That should reduce the running time of the scan.
For keeping your linux system secure, look at tripwire and similar products,
and chkrootkit (www.chkrootkit.org).
