Can Avast scan folders and files even Admins dont have access too?

We have some files and and folders that even admins don’t have access too, just the system and possibly one user account that’s only used to see those folders, is avast able to still scan these folders and files? curious if its been scanning the files or not!

I believe Avast can, or it’ll easily miss malwares. You can check it by creating a custom scan to check specific directory and see how many files got scanned.
