1.	Solve : How do I use MSE to scan internal and external drives??
Answer» Hello everyone, I am using MSE for my AV. My Internet is disconnected right now. I know I am not infected, but just in case I would like to scan all external drives, and my internal drives which are connected via USB. I WENT into the MSE settings, and under Advanced I checked the box for the removable drives. I did a full scan, and I also did a Custom scan, but my result scanning time are coming back way too fast. I even have a lot to scan. I wanted to do a full scan on everything including any devices that are attached. HONESTLY, I don't mind the slow wait until MSE is finished scanning. Maybe MSE is not setup the right way?Go into Setting and chose Advanced. Check the box for external devices.

Anyway, thank you. I have another question for you below? I have AVG Tune UP, and I have CC Cleaner. Should I get rid one of them? Or both of them? Or keep them both? I have both in addition to MSE. If I get rid of them, do I need something in replace that would work with MSE without a conflict? My Internet should be back on shortly since a payment was made last week by mail.

You can keep AVG Tune Up but don't run the Registry Cleaner for the reasons listed below. Not a problem with CCleaner.

One cleaner may find entries on your SYSTEM that will not cause a problem when removed, another may not find the same entries, and still another may want to remove entries required for a program to work.
