Note: Using the default list of scan items
can result in a thorough scan that is very time consuming. Consider whether you
want to narrow the scope of this scan for regular use.
When the
On-Demand Scan Progress dialog
appears, the locations to scan appear as a comma-separated string following
Scanning in. As the scan processes
are completed, they are removed from the string.
