SCANNING Tab

 

Choose files to scan:

In the upper left portion of the Scanning tab you will see an area with check boxes. These check boxes allow you to choose what drives you wish to scan. If you click the "+" sign next to each drive, you can choose to scan only specific directories or to skip directories from being scanned. A checked box indicates the drive and or directory will be scanned.

 

Scan Frequency:

In the upper right side of the Scanning tab you can make changes to how often your scanner scans.

 

Detection:

In the lower right corner of the Scanning tab you can make changes to your Detection settings, letting you decide what type of infections you would like to scan for. 

 

 


GENERAL Tab

 

General Tab

 

The left side of the General settings tab allows you to designate what actions should be performed when threats are found during a scan. These actions are based on file locations and threat types.

File locations include:

 

 

 

Scan speed setting 

If you plan to use your computer during the scan, we recommend you change the scan to run no faster than the default (medium speed). If you do not use your computer during scans, you can set the scan to run faster.

 

Scan results settings

These settings let you choose how often you would like to see scan results from automatic scans. You will always be shown scan results from scans you start manually.
