AVG Free Edition Question

Comment:
I just downloaded AVG Free Edition and ran everything as suggested by the creators. My question is....it seemed like it only scanned about 2GB of my 100GB hard drive. I'm confused, is this a default of the free version? I couldn't find anything in the settings to scan both of my hard drives in their entirety. Anyone shed some light on this?
