[QUOTE="RRlight, post: 1108122, member: 112542"] I don't know if downloading and scanning cloud-only files (i.e. files on the OneDrive server but not in the local drive, but you can see them in Explorer and download them on demand) is a good or bad option, but this is the first scanner I have used working this way. Basically, it scans everything, if a file in OneDrive folder is not synced, it will have OneDrive download that file for scanning. Other vendors I have used just skip such files. Anyway, it has been scanning for 10 hours, around 1.3M files already, but still scanning my OneDrive folder. Yep, I just ticked my 2 disks in the program and let it start. As a reference, Kaspersky, Microsoft Defender, Eset Online scanner, or Emsisoft Emergency Kit take around 2 hours to scan my whole system. I would recommend excluding OneDrive folders from scanning for Stinger:ROFLMAO: Or scanning only necessary folders/files. [/QUOTE]
