3.7.5. How do I automatically shut down the device after
the scan is over?
Bitdefender offers multiple scan tasks that you can use to make sure your
system is not infected with threats. Scanning the entire device may take
longer time to complete depending on your system's hardware and software
configuration.
For this reason, Bitdefender allows you to configure your product to shut
down your system as soon as the scan is over.
Consider this example: you have finished your work and you want to go to
sleep. You would like to have your entire system checked for threats by
Bitdefender.
To shut down the device when Quick Scan or System scan is over:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the
Bitdefender interface.
2. In the ANTIVIRUS pane, click Open.
3. In the Scans window, click
next to Quick Scan or System Scan and
select Edit.
