I just noticed that when it had scanned successfully for a few minutes 
after my recent reboot & login, and then after it had appeared to scan some 
more a few times after that recent login, that it is scanning the same few 
folders that it had scanned already.  So, I just excluded those folders 
just to see what happens...
