ESSPUSR 2 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I have set as default to scan all my disks when doing a scan but when I do a custom scan and uncheck those disks I want it to be excluded from scanning it still scans them anyway. Why? What to do to get ESSP to respect my option for scanning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,267 Posted May 23 Administrators Share Posted May 23 Do you mean that if you do a custom scan and don't select a drive (C: in this example), that drive would be scanned regardless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly. I noticed it jump between disks when scanning also. It should scan the disk completely then scan next disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matte 4 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Do you only have the drives themselves selected? If for example the operating memory option is still selected, ESET can still scan files in other drives if they are currently opened in memory, could also explain why it's jumping around between disks.

Administrators Marcos 5,267 Posted May 23 Administrators Share Posted May 23 It could be that you have links to another volume there. As of the next version links won't be followed by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only selected OS drive. The other external USB disk is not selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really understand what you mean. What do you mean by "links to another volume"? When is the next version supposed to be released that address this?

You can have a hard link, symbolic link or a junction on one volume pointing to a folder on another volume / disk. 1 hour ago, ESSPUSR said: I dont really understand what you mean. What do you mean by "links to another volume"? In 24Q3. The scanner has followed links since NOD32 v1, we plan to add a setting for it in v17.2.
