Problem with full scan

Hello everyone:

 

I have just installed Norton Internet Security 2012 on my computer.

 

I ran a full scan and got the following:

 

Full Scan - 328,710 files scanned, 21,222 skipped.

 

I wanted to scan the skipped files as well, so I turned off Intelligent scanning and re-ran the scan.

 

The total went way down.

 

After turning iit off:

 

Full Scan - 170,599 files scanned, 129,263 skipped

 

Shouldn't the total number of files scanned have gone UP?

 

I went and restored all options to default settings, which turnes intelligent scanning back on, hit apply and OK. I rebooted my computer, and re-ran the full scan.

 

Still getting: Full Scan - 170,599 files scanned, 129,263 skipped.

 

Any help at getting it back to normal is greatly appreciated.
