Dear All

Bit of a dumb question perhaps? But does Spybot S&D check a flash drive attached to a PC?

hello,

Please have a look at the "Directories" in the "Settings" when you run Spybot - Search & Destroy in "Advanced Mode". There you can add additional harddisks or folders.

You can also use the command line parameter allhives.
/allhives
Scans all windows installations on your system, even inactive ones.
Example: "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /allhives

Also to mention the File Scanner - you can scan every single file with it.

(SDFiles.exe in the program folder if you did not select it during installation to appear in Explorers context menu).

Best regards
