I do agree with this. Although, Matthias does have a point in that new users are less likely to experience this due to LiveCodeToolsLog.txt probably being either non-existent or of a much smaller size. But still — 3 minutes for a 2.8 MB file? I just checked the size of LiveCodeToolsLog.txt on my machine and it’s 13.3 MB. I wonder how long an Intego scan would have taken with that! One wonders if perhaps: 1. The scanning algorithm or method used by Intego might not have been sufficiently optimized to perform well under certain circumstances; and/or 2. The method used by LiveCode to write to LiveCodeToolsLog.txt (presumably multiple times) might not be ideal. Could be a "write to file" vs "put into url" issue. Better yet, perhaps the writing to this log file should not be performed by default, unless a debug setting is set via Preferences. It does sound like something suitable for a bug/enhancement report.
