What does the scheduled scan scan?

We have a scheduled scan on our computers using WithSecure Business Suite 16.01, and each scan gives us scans of over 2 million files. However, when I run a “dir” command on the disk on which the scan took place, the result is much lower (700k).


I'd like to know how the programmed scan works and what it actually scans.

    Hi @Neo14000 ,

    Thank you for reaching out WithSecure Community.

    Scheduled scanner might want to iterate through container files (ZIP, JAR, 7z, etc...) so number of scanned items might be much bigger that number of files on the disk. It is relevant also to ODS (On-demand Scan) scanning logic.
