Looking at my test results for a recent scan (I chose to scan all files) in
the Test Results box it says some files were only Quick Checked in the
Status column and was wondering what would be the configuration be required
to check all files totally?

Cheers,
 
I *think* what AVG does on critical system files is after the first initial
scan is ran it makes a checksum of these files, so when you scan them later
it informs you that it Quick Checked them because the file didn't change.
I've noticed if the files change it marks them as "Changed".. a lot of newer
AV's are doing this to cut down on scanning times, and as long as they are
using something like MD5 for checksumming its not really that bad of an
idea.
