Noted today. Performed a complete scan similar to two to three days ago, but the file size was 300-330,000 with minor variation. Running it now showed over 450,000. Seems unusual at first, but it’s always been this way for me. Is this variation typical for the number of files scanned? Also, no recent downloads made a big difference in the results.

Think it’s just a bunch of saved copies.

I agree too. I realize I’m seeing a lot of varying results each time I scan. The only thing that comes to mind is...
