Scan an external drive

[hornplayer]

I've recently learned that malware can hide on an external drive. I have searched thru Spybot but can't see anyplace where I can tell it to scan the external drive that I use for backups. Can I do this and if so, how??

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

Thank you all for your help. I had seen the Directory under Settings but didn't know how to add a drive. All is well now!
