Hello mjplowd
 
Similar computers does not equal exactly identical computers.  Scan speeds are affected by, among other things:
 
  • Exact CPU speed
  • Amount of RAM
  • Hard drive disk speed
  • How many programs are installed
  • What TYPE of programs are installed
  • How BIG the programs installed are
For example.  I had a scan time of under 2 minutes.
 
Then I installed Office and Visual Studio.  Now it takes 7 minutes on average 🙂
