Hi to everyone!
Can I access my home network drive for a virus scan?
I mean, I have a iomega home network drive and I mapped it.
Now I can see my public folder like any other drive with a letter (Z:\)
I was asking to me if I can run a virus scan to it or AAW 2008 has this kind of limitation

Thanks for any help.
Stefano.

I can't quite remember if this is limited in the 2008 version.

Try right clicking the Z: drive and choose scan with ad-aware. (Obviously, you need pro/plus for anti-virus capabilities).

Hi Casey thanks for your reply!
but... AAW 2008 Pro has no right clicking scanning mode at all. Anyway, from the main interface, I clicked on custom scan and I "saw" Z:\, it seems to me that the process finished properly.
Actually, I didn't know if the Z drive has been investigated for virus because I had too few files in it and the process last only few seconds.
Did AAW write any log(s) file(s) that I can check for those kind of informations?

Thanks for your help!

There should be context menu scanning, make sure you check the settings.

yes, logs will be stored.

Vista: C:\ProgramData\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\Logs
XP: C:\Application Data\All Users\Administrator\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\Logs (I believe).

I can't find any context menu...could please guide me trough it? I have Ad-Aware 2008 latest build.
I checked the log files you guessed me but I couldn't find the informations I was looking for...why?

Hope you'll help me...
Thanks,
Stefano.

Umm..

i think (baring in mind I've been using AE for the past 3months) that it is under:

Ad-Aware > Settings > Scanning > Add to Windows righ click menu or something similar.

Check the scan log and you should be able to see what drives it has scanned.

Tbh, you should try upgrading to AE.

no Casey...the right click scanning mode is something added to AE only, now I'm sure about that.
Thanks the same for your help, mate.

Bye,
Stefano.
