    Default Scanning Master & Slave drives?

    As the result of some "emergency surgery" to save the data on a dying PC I now have a master C:\ drive and a slave E:\ drive (the E:\ is the drive from the old machine.) When I run S&D does it scan both drives or just the primary C:\ drive. If it only scans the C:\ can it be "tricked" into looking at both?

    Thanks in advance

    In other words, Spybot scans the portion of the drive(s) required automatically.

    There is a special scan for Spyware installers (files not installed yet) that can be limited to specific directories (actually it should be limited) which can be located on either internal or external drives. To activate this feature go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Directories and add directories. There is more on what this feature scans for here:
