Most likely they're just system files. But I'm sure there's a way to scan them.

Hello brownies,

Most other security software password protect the infections that they have back-upped. These files you can't scan. BitDefender or any other security scan can only scan password protected items when you for an archive you extract it by using the password used to protect or encrypt it. Other software vendors protect there files to be modified. In fact password protected items can't cause any harm. If they are runned BitDefender can react. Check this link.

Kind regards,

Niels
