    I clicked on 'scan now', asked it to 'use custom scanning options' and in the options i checked drives D and F (the partitioned drives), unchecked C (the 'main' drive), then proceeded to scan. but then it just scans C drive again and some registry stuff and doesn't scan D nor F... am I doing something wrong?

    thanks!

    I just tested it myself. It just ran on c: drive. I didn't let it finish so I couldn't tell you if it scanned other drives after it finished c: scan.

    That is werid tho. Maybe you have to Uncheck All the MEMORY & REGISTRY Options under the Drives,Folders and Files Options. Being that it might only be able to scan files in other parttitioned drives.

    Who knows ....



    I wonder if spybot does the same
