On the What to scan tab you can define whether you want to schedule scanning of the whole
computer or scanning of specific files or folders.
In case you select scanning of specific files or folders, in the bottom part of this dialog the displayed
tree structure activates and you can specify the folders to be scanned (expand items by clicking the
plus node until you find the folder you wish to scan). You can select multiple folders by checking the
respective boxes. The selected folders will appear in the text field on the top of the dialog, and the
drop-down menu will keep your selected scan history for later use. Alternatively, you can enter the
full path to the desired folder manually (if you enter multiple paths, it is necessary to separate with
semi-colons without extra spaces).
Within the tree structure you can also see a branch called Special locations. Below is a list of
locations that will be scanned once the respective checkbox is marked:
