Some concerns here:

One being, whenever I scan with AVG free version it shows that it scanned a total of 5568 files.

Im running Windows 2000 with all hidden folders shown and Im running as a Standard User. I dont know if this makes any differnece for the AVG scanning method. Or it might be just inaccurate. Hope not.

However, I was running XP-Pro before I had installed 2000 and when I scanned it under XP-Pro, it had shown that it scanned 14000 files. But thats was with XP though.

Then I went to House Call Online scanner and it showed it scanned about 14025 files. I dont know, could anyone shed some light on this?



Confused

If you go to the Service pull down and look at the "Complete Test Settings" do you have the "Test all extensions" checked?
