Does the scanning process of WebAgain affect my page counters and Web trend reports?

Not if you use FTP because hit counters on UNIX web servers are implemented as CGI scripts which are linked into your web page. The hit counter data file is only updated when the page is read from the web server via HTTP. If you check your site via the FrontPage Server Extensions then the hit counters will increase when that page is checked.
