80 gig partitioned as C&D and an external 160 gig that I use for storage of
old drive copies from long gone computers and for home movies from
video-cam.
I'm trying to find a way to tell it not to scan that drive but I haven't
figured out how yet. I think I was able to do that with McAfee on my
previous computer, to shorten the scan time. I don't see any sense in
scanning stuff that hasn't been changed in years.
