Hi
i’m using avast 6 under windows 7
can i scan rookits drives ?
i mean every time i perform a rookit scan , avast scans my windows 7 volume/partition
can i scan rookits the other drives or volumes/partition ?
thanks
cheers
Avast automaticly scans for rootkits each time you boot your system.
It also detecs them in real time.
Unless you have disabled it in the settings.
Avast scans all drives for rootkits if/when needed.
how do i perform an on deman rookit scan of my partions (outside my os) ?
thanks
Create a custom scan.
yes and???
i have quick and deep rookit scan
i can select the partition to scan
i mean i can perform a normal scan , but the rookit scan scans only my windows 7 partition ??? ???
Sorry, not sure what you mean.
i want to perform a rookit scan of my D: E: and :F
my windows 7 is C:
how can i do ?
Why…? Are they bootable…??
E: and F: yes they are bootable
Hmm…
Sorry, not sure, if this can be done…?!
i mean on gmer.exe i can scan E: D: F: …
gmer is part of avast now , i guess
could i do with avast like gmer ?
Yes, he’s part of the team.
The latest version of his tool is here: http://public.avast.com/~gmerek/aswMBR.exe
in short can i scan for rootkits all my drives ?
Do you have a multiboot system?
If so, you have to run a scan from each one of them.
Only the drive/partition that is booted from is scanned.
Because that is where the OS is and where a rootkit will be.
yes i have a multiboot system
If so, you have to run a scan from each one of them.
what do you mean ?
have i to install avast in ever os?
No, just use the tool…! 
???
I havn’t read all this but why can’t you right click on each drive & scan
See Reply #11…
it scans only my windows7 no the other os
