It's not an SD card anyway, but AVG is still set to not scan removable media.
The question is, though, does AVG see a USB HDD as removable media? 8)

This one did occur to me & I did ask where I needed to look. ;) Is it the
VA.cfg file in the program root? Or do I have to dabble in Windows settings
somewhere. Current VA.cfg settings (extract) are:

[DirectDrawRenderer]
free_scale = 1
CanChangeMode = 1
Border = 0
TripleBuffer = 0
FrameSkip = 0
AutoWindowResize = 1
FullScreenStartup = 0
MaxRefresh = 75
MinRefresh = 58
Large16bitPalette = 1

[WinUI]
ProcessorPriority = 0
UIPriority = 3

I really don't remember what they were before, so I don't know if they've
changed.
