I recently reinstalled MSE because my system became infected even though MSE ran every day.

After reinstallation I thought I would try a quick scan, so after updating I hit quick scan button.

The scan took over one hour and scanned 277,000 items, I thought this was strange but as it was the first scan after reinstallation I ran quick scan again the following day. This scan took more than one hour and scanned 230,000 items, normally quick scan use to take about ten minutes and scanned 39,000 items.

Why is MSE taking so long and why is it scanning so many items, also why did it not pick up on my system being infected.
