The real question is can Windows defender scan these drives?
- jasomill 1y agoI don't know what it scans in the background by default, but it can custom scan mounted volumes with no visible mount points assigned at all, e.g., my EFI partition containing a copy of the EICAR test file[1]: PS C:\Users\jtm> & 'C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe' -Scan -ScanType 3 -File '\\?\Volume{91ada2dc-bb55-4d7d-aee5-df40f3cfa155}\' Scan starting... Scan finished. Scanning \\?\Volume{91ada2dc-bb55-4d7d-aee5-df40f3cfa155}\ found 1 threats. Cleaning started... Cleaning finished.
