Allie,

thanks for the followup.

cool.

oops.  thought I had set that correctly, but hadn't.


This is probably an example of a user interface design issue that I've
come to appreciate.  Namely, there needs to be a collection of
"primitive" capabilities, with a layer on top for simplified use.  In
this case, fast/normal/paranoid would be 3 settings for the simplified
user interface, where paranoid would scan all files.

(This is not a criticism of nod32, per se, but a bit of generic lobbying
for a particular approach to UI design.)
