Scanning partitions and additional HDDs

AVG Protection

Borislav already mentioned where in settings you can find it, if you are referring real time protection it scans all files you are opening.
You can disable AVG download test file place to those locations than enable AVG.
Thanks

NO Borislav did not!!! Borislav mentioned how to select specific areas to scan. I have already dont that. What I asked is "How can I confirm that AVG system scan". System scan if case you dont know is when it scans the 'entire hdd' all files/folders automatically. Got it? Im not interested in drilling down to each HDD partition each week when I do an entire system scan.

HDD1:
C:\ system
D:<br>E:<br>HDD2:
single partition (backup files)

If you mean scheduled scan than you can change/check it in advanced settings http://prntscr.com/6g8aso .
There is no "System scan" in AVG please explain in more detail what you mean by that.
Thanks

my reply:


i find no place in the settings that indicate my other HDDs. your saying that Anti-Malware testfile will test avg to see if its scanning all my hdds. That sounds strange.
