Hi,
 
When you click "Scan my computer" you do not perform a FULL computer scan , you do an "optimized scan"  hiden under the name "Scan my PC" which is , indeed, 30sec to 2 min.
 
A real FULL computer scan is around your time ,30 min.
 
Question: are you doing a REAL FULL computer scan? If Yes, the time is about right.

Claudiu, 
 
Good to meet you and welcome back to the Community.
 
There is nothing hidden here, and we all know how the scans work.  Quite simply, there is no need to waste time scanning each and every file on the computer.  What is more important is finding items that will act in undesired manners.  This method is simply more efficient and faster than the methods traditionally used.  I see no chicanery in use here, the scan method is not "hidden" as you suggested: Webroot is fully open and transparent in how the product works.  It quite simply works just as well as other solutions, but in a different way.

If the folder in the screenshot is any indication, you have a large number of files being stored in a directory used by G Data, which is another anti-malware product. Those may be taking longer to scan due to their large quantity. If you no longer use G Data, you could delete the G Data trash directory. If you still use it, probably this scan is taking longer because there is more to scan. WSA is scanning 83,204 files on your system, whereas on mine it's scanning 37,210. That's not going to be the entire reason for the slowness, but it's part.
