Scanning pcs with Multiple User accounts

G

Guest

I have a pc with two user accounts on it. When I scan with Windows Defender
does it scan all accounts or do I need to scan from inside both accounts?

it scans your whole computer regardles of how many accounts you have- as
long as you scan as the administrator.
If you scan as one user account and do not have administrator rights it will
only scan that account.

YOU WRONG!
Windows Defender scans the whole computer also using a limited account

I think the answer to your question is best addressed by going to
Tools>Options>Administrator (right at bottom of the page) and making sure the
the relevant options are check marked.

Hope this helps.

no i am not wrong i think you misunderstood me
I said if you are scanning as an administrator it will scan the whole
computer
If you are logged on on only as a user with limited access it will only scan
that account.
This is for scanning purposes only!!
I tested it and that is what it did on 4 computers that I have WD on
It totally watches over the whole computer wether you are an administrator
or user so if you are a user and you get spyware it will yell and scream and
catch it.

You know what? Believe whatever you like. But, when scanned from a limited
user account, it is only scanning that account not the whole computer.
Look this picture and go to hell, stupid boy!

I'm so glad this isn't usenet. This is a happy, helpful place where people
treat each other with respect.

(most of the time) ;-)
