14.2.5. Antivirus Scan Wizard
Whenever you initiate an on-demand scan (for example, right-click a folder,
point to Bitdefender and select Scan with Bitdefender), the Bitdefender
Antivirus Scan wizard will appear. Follow the wizard to complete the scanning
process.
Note
If the scan wizard does not appear, the scan may be configured to run silently,
in the background. Look for the scan progress icon in the system tray. You
can click this icon to open the scan window and to see the scan progress.
Step 1 - Perform scan
Bitdefender will start scanning the selected objects. You can see real-time
information about the scan status and statistics (including the elapsed time,
an estimation of the remaining time and the number of detected threats).
Wait for Bitdefender to finish scanning. The scanning process may take a
while, depending on the complexity of the scan.
Stopping or pausing the scan. You can stop scanning anytime you want by
clicking STOP. You will go directly to the last step of the wizard. To
temporarily stop the scanning process, just click PAUSE. You will have to
click RESUME to resume scanning.
Password-protected archives. When a password-protected archive is
detected, depending on the scan settings, you may be prompted to provide
the password. Password-protected archives cannot be scanned unless you
provide the password. The following options are available:
● Password. If you want Bitdefender to scan the archive, select this option
and type the password. If you do not know the password, choose one of
the other options.
● Don't ask for a password and skip this object from scan. Select this option
to skip scanning this archive.
● Skip all password-protected items without scanning them. Select this
option if you do not want to be bothered about password-protected
archives. Bitdefender will not be able to scan them, but a record will be
kept in the scan log.
Choose the desired option and click OK to continue scanning.
