Stuff that has slipped under the radar that is new in the signature files that wasn't there when the malware was infecting the machine. Some stuff that might be significant here might be a file which writes to the HOSTS file. It has already done its work, but the deep scan might find it and alert the sysadmin to its presence. > Scheduled scans are about as useful as software firewalls...
