The total number of scanned files is comprised of the following file scan events:

  • Process scan - Virus Scan Engine (VSAPI) file scan of associated files for currently running processes
  • Scan of known folder paths - Folder paths that are most likely targets of malwares
  • DCE system scan - Time when tsc.exe process runs
     
    Damage Cleanup Engine (DCE) scans the system's running processes, known malicious files and folder paths, known malicious running services, and known malicious registries if ever they exist in the system.
  • Scan target

The scan file number is not always the same when scanning the same target folder if the first, second, and third file scan events change.
