Jim The Large 0 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I ran a scheduled scan early this morning (5/14). As usual anti-malware ran a "Smart Scan". When I looked at the report, among the objects scanned were "C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files". Why does Smart Scan scan the same folder twice. Puzzled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stapp 152 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Perhaps if you are on 64bit operating system it is scanning C:\program Files (x86) for your 32bit programs, and C:\Program Files for your 64bit programs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hackerman1 6 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 but then it should list C:\program Files (x86) in the log ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stapp 152 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 True. Lets wait and see what a dev says. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim The Large 0 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 On 18 June, the Smart Scan report contained, "Objects: Rootkits, Memory, Traces, C:\Windows\, C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files". Last night's (24 July), the Smart Scan report contains, "Objects: Rootkits, Memory, Traces, C:\Windows\, C:\Program Files\, C:\Program Files (x86)\". Sheep Expert's comments on 14 May were correct, "Perhaps if you are on 64bit operating system it is scanning C:\program Files (x86) for your 32bit programs, and C:\Program Files for your 64bit programs." It appears that a developer finally corrected the report content. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
