I'm running the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner on the same 64-bit
machine as the task that's now reached 262 hours, with no usable
checkpoints since 70 hours. When it finally finishes, I'll be able to
apply
the recent updates on that machine and reboot it.It's shown 0% progress
since yesterday, still scanning mostly *.new files and the property files
associated with them.

After running 24 hours a day for a few days, the Windows Live OneCare
safety scanner on the same 64-bit machine as the long-running task has
reached 1% of the files scan. Shouldn't it be relabelled as possibly
taking
a few months to complete?
The long-running task has now taken 285 hours; I've seen reports that
for similar tasks other people ran, it often took over 300 CPU hours.

The log-running task finally finished after about 320 hours.
The Windows Live OneCare safety scanner reached 2%of the scan after
another two days; no time to let it finish at that rate.
Now have that machine disconnected from the internet, with all selectable
features of the antivirus program turned off.
Trying another new,full backup now. Could the change backup settings
button and the button to turn off automatic backup be changed so that
starting a new, full backup does not automatically turn on automatic
backup, since the version with automatic backup turned on seems to
have a limit of two DVD+RWs it can initialize, sometimes even less?
