Settings for scope of analysis
You can select, which file type should be considered in the analysis.
l Enable the check next to the file type, which you want scanned for. File types which have not been checked are
excluded from the scan.
Scan for stored Internet files
Files are searched for, which have been stored by your Internet-Browser onto your computer. They might include
Cookies, favorites, temporary files, passwords and form data.
Scan for Password and form files
The scan will filter for Internet files, form data and passwords, which have been stored via your Internet-Browser, e.g.
the password for your Email account or access data to your online banking. This option is disabled as default.
Scan for temporary Windows and program files
The analysis also includes temporary created files. These are created most often by Windows and other programs to
relieve the memory, e.g. during an installation created in a folder.
Scan free space for unsafe deleted files
Free space is scanned for files, which have been already deleted "normally". These files are not visible under Win-
dows anymore; yet, they it may be possible to restore them using data rescue programs.
Only store 10000 files per drive in the report
Only 10000 files will be stored in a report per drive.
