Virus scan lasts a LONG time

I have a Gateway laptop, running Vista Premium, and it's about 4 months old.
I also have Zone Alarm security suite running. When it scans for spyware,
it's relatively quick...but when it scans for viruses...it can last a long
time. Just today, it scanned and it took 3 hours and 45 minutes. To me,
that's long! And it's not like I have a lot on the computer. I have much
more on my XP desktop, I use ZA security suite on it as well, and it's MUCH
quicker. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is almost 4 hours normal?

If Your Scan Take A Long Time, You Can Watch TV Or Go Outside And Play In
The Garden. Just FYI. I Use To Work At The Post Office So I Was Able To Do
Many Things At The Post Office. Just FYI. I Would Put Bread Crumbs On The
Sidewalk So I Could Find My Way Home After Work. Just FYI.

The Post Office Was Very Hard. Just FYI. There Were So Many Things To
Learn And I Had Trouble But My Manager Felt Sorry For Me So He Helped Me Get
Along With Everyone at The Post Office. Just FYI.

How Can I Put So Many Stamps On Letters. Just FYI.

I Have 39Cent Stamps And I Have 2 Cent Stamps And I Have One Cent Stamps.
Just FYI. I Need To Make Sure I Have The Right Amount Of Stamps On A Letter
So It Would Be Able To Be Mailed. Just FYI

By The Way, Ubuntu Sucks, Just FYI
