Skipped Items
I'm concerned about these "skipped" items. I'm redoing my laptop because of a virus I got on Jan 5/13. I've reinstalled Windows after reformating/paritioning (I've had a b--ch of a time with this virus). I'm now scanning my 250G backup Seagate drive and it tells me that it's skipped some items. Seagate's backup works on having 9 historical version of the same file (in case you need an older version). So if Bitdefender scanned a file that is say.....wonderful.exe dated 2012/01/01 and the latest version is 2013/01/05 and Bitdefender skips it because all the previous versions were fine, but this last one is infected, I'm hooped. What would BD assume the same file dated later would be fine?

Sorry, i don't know what you are referring to. Just exactly what part of this applies to my concern?

I'm just starting the scan for the first time so how does it create this cache and skip files the first go-around?0 -
Hello,
I've noticed that during installation, BD always performs a quick system scan.
There is also, the "On Access" scan feature that is "ON" by default.
Perhaps, by those ways, BD creates the first cache.

Only clean files are added. You should ask the criteria of saying the "Clean Files".

I've just download a trial version of BD and am impressed with it so far, so I'm not familiar with all the settings/options. What do you mean by "you should ask the criteria of clean files"?0 -
Actually in all discussion about skipped items and SmartScan feature, technical support is saying that only "Clean" files are added to the database, but they did not tell what the clean files are actually and how does the Bitdefender consider them clean.
