Spybot Search and Destroy scans multiple registries in side by side Windows installs
From the Spybot Help file:
I have two installations on my hard disk. Can I scan both at the same time? FAQ #041 Yes, if you have Windows 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista, Spybot-S&D does allow you to scan inactive Windows versions as well, including the registry of other installations!
To scan your system including installations on other partitions, right-click the link/icon you use to start Spybot-S&D, and add /allhives to the command line (separated by a space from the rest). If you now start Spybot-S&D through this link, it will automatically detect other installations, and scan theirs registries and files as well.

- Serial Port
- Unknown Device
