How to Scan a File, Folder or Disk for Viruses |
There are situations when it is necessary to scan individual objects for viruses but not the entire computer. For example, one of the hard drives, on which your programs and games, e-mail databases brought home from work, and archived files that came with e-mail are located, etc. You can select an object for scan with the standard tools of the Microsoft Windows operating system (for example, in the Explorer program window or on your Desktop, etc.).
In order to launch an object scan,
place the cursor or the name of the selected object, open the Microsoft Windows context menu by right-clicking the mouse button, and select Scan for viruses.
Scanning an object, selected using the standard Microsoft Windows tools, for viruses
A scan of the selected object will then begin, and the details will be shown in a special window. When you press the
Close button, the window with information on the scan progress will close, although the scan will continue.
