Virus Scanner very slow
Does anyone else have the problem of the virus scanner taking multiple days to finish a full scan? Slowest AV I've ever used. Is there an update coming to the engine for Macs? Also I noticed the Self Signed Keys will create issues with Macs going forward are there any fixes in the works for this?

Hi,
I have the same problem, but with another antivirus. I have updated my macOS to BigSur, and got Safari persistently set to open Yahoo page on startup. My default AV is very slow and does nothing to fix the bug.
I wonder that Yahoo itself is a too big a fish to do such a straightforward scam, so I have learned there is kind of a chain of intermediate redirects behind https://macsecurity.net/view/259-yahoo-redirect-virus-mac , (see Malicious apps redirecting to Yahoo). But I do not see yet what kind of malware would cause the redirect, it started to occur, again, as I have upgraded my macOS to Big Sur.
Shall I try Acronis AV to remove the redirect for good? I would love to hear real user's experiences and promise to drop some screenshots if I try Acronis...
Cheers!
