    I recently succesfully installed a new hard drive as a slave. My computer recognises this drive. as drive E:

    I recently spent some time cleaning malware, and rdoing some housecleaning such as registry clean and defrag.

    Do malware cleaning and other programs automatically scan each drive or should I run 2 scans (C:\ and E:)

    While malware most often targets system folders and files typically residing on your C: (system) drive, you may want to drill down into your anti-spyware program's setting to see if it is/can be set to scan other partitions/drives as well, just as you would want anti-virus progs to do.
