At the end of each scan, I get the message "Preinstalled software elements found: 33"...yet I always only see 11 items listed...

Greetings,

You should be able to expand the items listed in the scan results and see further details; I suspect that many of the detected entries have multiple traces/child objects beneath them which would account for the larger number of elements vs the initial number of items listed (this is done deliberately to group associated components of individual programs and to make excluding individual applications that are detected easier rather than having to exclude each individual trace/detection individually).

If that does not account for the difference then please post your scan log and we will take a look.

Thanks
