Along with regular files, some of my .ZIP files contain other archives, which in turn, contain other ones, etc. Can SSScanner scan all those archives as well?

Yes, it can. Furthermore, this feature is completely unique to SSScanner. By default, the product processes enclosed .ARJ, .RAR;, .TAR, and .ZIP archives only; this is done on purpose to prevent SSScanner from wasting time “digging too deeply”. But, in case of necessity, you may easily change the default settings, and make SSScanner recursively search within other nested archives (such as, .CAB files). Just do the following: activate the tab “Filters” on the SSScanner main window, then click any row using the right mouse button, and select the item “Properties” in the corresponding pop-up menu. Look at the .INI-file which should appear after the above actions, and make sure that the property “NESTED ARCHIVES=1”. Then, add extensions of the desired archive types in the option “ENCLOSED EXTENSIONS”. For example, you may enter: ENCLOSED EXTENSIONS=.ARJ;.CAB;.GZIP;.GZ;.JAR;.RAR;.TAR;.TAZ;.TBZ;.TGZ;.TPZ;.Z;.ZIP to make SSScanner recursively scan any or, just all archives that SSScanner find
