I've used Kaspersky 2013 to scan a number of drives now and every single time, it seems to be listing a LOT of files as threats. 
 
I occasionally get a popup from kaspersky saying that files are hidden, and this is the reason for detection, etc.Do I have a setting ticked that shouldn't be or something ? 
 
 
I'm also having an issue where, when scanning an external drive Kaspersky will also scan the O/S drive. Can I prevent it doing this, I have a large amount of data on the my O/S drive which means any external scan subsequently takes forever... 
 
More confusingly the path it will give whilst scanning will actually indicate that it is &nbsp;canning the external when it definitely isn't:- 
 
e.g. K:\Documents and Settings\StuffthatisonmyCDrive\Desktop\takingforever.iso 
 
\notfunny\callmea.cab 
 
Any thoughts? 
 
See post for more info.

Kaspersky - problem scanning an external drive

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
