I'm running the KSC (Kaspersky Security Cloud) free edition on a Win 10 virtual machine with VirtualBox. The idea is to use the KSC only to scan my malware collection and generate a log of that.
The folder with the malware collection is in an external hard drive which is accessible inside the VM as a "Shared Folder" mapped to the letter "X".

When I want to run the scan, to scan the path X://3/, I execute a batch file with the line:

avp.com scan X://3/ /i0 /RA:%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/KAV-Scan.log

The scan runs normally without abort or any other error and the log file is generated as expected.
However, when I checked the log, I saw that some folders are skipped by the scan. You can see the log fragment below:

2022-10-15 11:42:13 \\VBoxSvr\Vir_tmp\3\34\34ffc3c73c614cbfd3e85579b42dd36a detected Trojan-Dropper.VBS.Agent.bp 2022-10-15 11:42:13 \\VBoxSvr\Vir_tmp\3\34\34ffc3c73c614cbfd3e85579b42dd36a skipped 2022-10-15 11:42:13 \\VBoxSvr\Vir_tmp\3\34\34ffe5876537faff176da53a1f2f1c11 ok 2022-10-15 11:42:13 \\VBoxSvr\Vir_tmp\3\30 skipped <----------------------------------------------------- FOLDER SKIPPED 2022-10-15 11:42:13 \\VBoxSvr\Vir_tmp\3\34\34ffcacb3a6eee7acbb92028f4dd6c3c ok 2022-10-15 11:42:13 Scan_Objects$1020 completed ; --- Statistics --- ; Time Start: 2022-10-15 09:02:23 ; Time Finish: 2022-10-15 11:42:13 ; Processed objects: 877314 ; Total OK: 855710 ; Total detected: 21604 ; Suspicions: 0 ; Total skipped: 0 ; Password protected: 868 ; Corrupted: 81 ; Errors: 0 ; ------------------

As you can see. The folder X://3/30 was just skipped by the scan and this happened with other folders as well.

My question is: Does anybody have any idea of what is causing this and how to solve it?
Suggestions are welcomed!

It seems that folder is inside the shared folder in VirtualBox, I guess that folder has read and write rights...

The log also shows 81 corrupted objects 🤔

Yes, as I mentioned before the KSC is running in a virtual machine and the folder with malware is in an external HD attached to the physical computer. The VM sees the external HD as a shared folder.
The corrupted objects are corrupted files in the collection. This folder is not clean so its fine to have some of those there.
Thanks.
