My question is what types of files it scans, whether it scans ALL files, including personal files, videos etc.
I got an email saying I got malware on my machine. The claim is machine was infected by a downloaded video.
There are signs that this mail is fake (i.e, Machine is not actually infected) yet, I'd like to do whatever possible assuming this is really the case.
Assuming it is true, I wonder whether this can be detected by any anti malware\virus, especially SysRescue .
I also wonder whether this type of threats, can infect my other files (say, an Excel sheet I have created, pictures) and if so, can this be detected?
