Bitdefender Rescue Disk Not Scanning All Files

I wanted to eliminate the possibility of a virus on my laptop (Windows 7, 64 bit). I successfully created a rescue disk and booted my machine.

The instructions indicate that an automatic scan will begin but I was presented with a menu listing something along the lines of system, files and other things. I couldn't find anything that said 'scan all'. Is there such an option?

Secondly, it reported no issues of what I did scan but then it listed a number of file paths that it failed to scan. This is a selection of what it failed to scan.

/etc/gshadow

/sys/fs/cgroup/devices/devices.allow

/var/lib/NetworkManager

/root

/etc/sudoers.d

Etc/skel/.ssh

/etc/polkit-1/rules.d

/sys/fs/fuse/connections/8388612

/var/log/tallylog

/var/lib/portage/preserved_libs_registry

Are these Bitdefender files and therefore it doesn't need to scan its own files?

If they are not BD files, how can I get it to scan them. Is there a 'scan all' option.

Hello WorldMachine,

Those are files from the Rescue CD, they will not be scanned and at this time there is no option to do so due to the nature of the system.

Hello

Thank you so much for coming back to me. I thought maybe they were BD files, so my instincts were right.

I'd like to run the scan again at the weekend. Is there an option to 'scan all?' or do I need to work through each file on the main menu?

Hello,

The rescue CD scans all attached drives.

Having created a Rescue Disk on DVD can I keep this DVD and use it again in say six months or would I need to create a new one?

Many thanks

Hi,

Once you insert the Rescue CD, it will automatically look for the latest updates so you don't need to create a new one in six months.
