Bug: AntiSpyWare doesn't handle directory junctions

[Teis Johansen]

My system has several partitions mounted as sub directories
under c:\. One of these also has a separate drive letter
and is therefore accessible using multiple paths.
Unfortunately AntiSpyWare is not clever enough not to scan
my rather large file store several times.

As far as I know it is fairly straight forward to check
whether a directory is in reality a junction and not a real
directory

I have not seen any spyware programs scan this correctly

Hi Teis,
Try going to Scan Options--->Scan drive/folders, and unchecking that
particular drive if you don't wish to scan it.
