14.2.6. Checking scan logs
Each time a scan is performed, a scan log is created and Bitdefender records
the detected issues in the Antivirus window. The scan log contains detailed
information about the logged scanning process, such as scanning options,
the scanning target, the threats found and the actions taken on these threats.
You can open the scan log directly from the scan wizard, once the scan is
completed, by clicking SHOW LOG.
To check a scan log or any detected infection at a later time:
1. Click Notifications on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
2. In the All tab, select the notification regarding the latest scan.
This is where you can find all threat scan events, including threats detected
by on-access scanning, user-initiated scans and status changes for
automatic scans.
3. In the notifications list, you can check what scans have been performed
recently. Click a notification to view details about it.
4. To open the scan log, click View log.
14.3. Automatic scan of removable media
Bitdefender automatically detects when you connect a removable storage
device to your computer and scans it in the background when the Autoscan
option is enabled. This is recommended to prevent threats from infecting
your computer.
Detected devices fall into one of these categories:
● CDs/DVDs
● Flash drives, such as flash pens and external hard-drives
● mapped (remote) network drives
You can configure automatic scan separately for each category of storage
devices. Automatic scan of mapped network drives is off by default.
