[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 867918, member: 32260"] When the user is logging to his/her account, Windows opens the desktop (files are scanned on the desktop but not files in desktop folders). The same happens when opening the Explorer (or another file explorer based on Windows Explorer). The Desktop and Windows Explorer are parts of "Windows Shell". The files are not scanned when one uses other shells (CMD, PowerShell, Bash), except when files are executed. [/QUOTE]
