system files and adapt the boot or start screen to your own requirements.

System Scanner scan. For performance reasons, an optimized scan is only logged on

Note
This option is only available on multi-processor systems.
Follow symbolic links
If this option is enabled, System Scanner performs a scan that follows all symbolic
links in the scan profile or selected directory and scans the linked files for viruses and
malware.
Note
The option does not include any shortcuts, but refers exclusively to symbolic
links (generated by mklink.exe) or Junction Points (generated by junction.exe)
that are transparent in the file system.
Search for Rootkits before scan
If this option is enabled and a scan is started, the System Scanner scans the Windows
system directory for active rootkits in a so-called shortcut. This process does not scan

Note
The rootkits scan is not available for Windows XP 64 bit !
