Prevx Upgraded to WSA

Hi DanaJ, and welcome back,
 
There are a couple of settings that may help you here.  I have an older, slower computer, so I have had to adjust the scan settings too, and from time to time cancel a scan.
 
First, you can cancel a scan that is in progress.  On the program main screen, during scanning it will look like this:
 

 
See how the link I have circled has changed from "Scan Now" to "More Detail"?  Click on  that, and you should see this screen pop up:
 

 
 
Click the "Cancel Scan" button I have circled.
 
Now, lets take a look at the scan settings, and how to set the preferences for that.  On the main program screen, click "Settings" in the upper right corner.  I have it circled below:
 

 
In here, you can move the slider to choose your preference between fast scanning, or use less system resources:
 

 
I hope this helps!  Have a good weekend, and stop by again: this is a good place to learn more about your new WSA software!

I made some of the changes you suggested, and it seems to work better, much lower CPU usage, and the scan take less time too. The latter could be due to other factors.

Glad to see it is doing better DanaJ!  The faster scan time may be due to the fact that the first time run of the scan does tend to take a bit longer, with scans after the first one being considerably shorter.

Well, I have been using WSA for the 30 day trial, and after some testing, I have decided not to use it. My regualr AV intercepted infections before WSA did, do it really was not all that usefull.
I still use Malwarebytes and Pande Cloud Scanner as a secondary double check on my AV just to make sure, but at this time I find WSA to be unnecessary.
