As you can see, there is a significant difference in scanned items. I haven't done any uninstalls or deletion of cache or anything. There is also a difference in scanned archives, which might explain (or not?) the smaller amount of scanned items.
My question is: has there been any significant change made to the scanning engine today? Because 2,000 archives and 90,000 scanned items cannot just disappear overnight.

Hello AndreiRC and Viscon,
BitDefender products have a type of SmartScan module, which makes BitDefender not scan too frequently some unchanged files. This is done to improve scanning speeds.
This is why the total number of scanned items drops at successive scans.
