Currently doing this for scanning customers computers that are infected.

Under task properties
Area-i Add the following=>adding all areas of hard drives,auto start programs, auto start programs(all users),Root kits (full Scan), and operating memory of the computer.

Sensitivity-Test hole files and ignore virus targeting.
