Hello, I downloaded and installed the Avast AV (home) edition on my Windows XP (Service Pack 2) computer.You can only choose one drive at a time on the scan volume menu, so how did avast! Decide to continue onto the secondary HD? I started the avast! Scan on the Macintosh HD and after a few hours I noticed that it had completed but then continued on to scan the Data HD.This can be very useful when dealing with stubborn infections. It will scan the system before it fully loads into windows. Avast has a great feature that lets you perform a boot time scan.It scans for known types of malware and removes threats before the operating system and other services are running. If you suspect that your PC contains malware, Avast Antivirus allows you to schedule a Boot-time Scan to run the next time your computer starts.

I have the option to escape if I want to, but I don't want. When I boot up PC, it does what looks like to be an entire scan of system.
