Yes, both the pre-defined scan have a less thorough/sensitive scan of memory, but they clearly don't go to the same degree of sensitivity/thoroughness as when a custom scan is created and the Memory option is chosen. Otherwise both of these scans would be reporting them also,

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks guys! I will change my full scan to one of the auto-startup options.

BTW - great product Avast has here. Keep up the good work!
