    Is there a way to use Ad-Aware SE to scan the entire PC. It appears as though I have log on to each user on my XP system to completely scan the entire system. If I scan on my user ID and clean, I'll log onto my son's user ID and generally find more stuff to remove. Also, the number of files scanned changes dramatically. I'll scan on my user ID, wait a few days then scan again, and the files number of files scanned is not the same. It's set to perform a full system scan.

    You must be logged in as that user, in order to scan the directory associated with that profile.
