Possible scan incomplete?

I just downloaded Secure anywhere anti-virus.  It ran for 3 and half minutes and said, checking for malware.  Nothing about virus check which is not the same as malware.  My previous program was Norton and ran much longer and found problems but this seems too quick and not a complete check of my system.  Maybe the program did not load correctly?  What is going on?

? one should not compare a big v8 with a moped ( read Webroot's Secure Anywhere's much faster then Norton ).
Having said that i'd like to say it differently and more to the point. WRSA has a totally different way of workign then the N thing...
 
The products you mention work in a totally different way and because of WRSA's different approach it has a much better performance then N*bleep*

Hello ? I would just add in response to your original question that viruses are merely one type of malware (malicious software) but 'anti-virus' is the term that is often used for applications that protect you from all malware.
 
I'm sure you will find that WSA provides you with good protection with minimal impact on your system's resources.
