4.1.3. Automatic scan of removable media
Bitdefender automatically detects when you connect a removable storage
device to your device and scans it in the background when the Autoscan
option is enabled. This is recommended to prevent threats from infecting
your device.
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.
How does it work?
When it detects a removable storage device, Bitdefender starts scanning it
for threats (provided automatic scan is enabled for that type of device). You
will be notified through a pop-up window that a new device has been detected
and it is being scanned.
A Bitdefender scan
icon will appear in the system tray. You can click this
icon to open the scan window and to see the scan progress.
When the scan is completed, the scan results window is displayed to inform
you if you can safely access files on the removable media.
In most cases, Bitdefender automatically removes detected threats or isolates
infected files into quarantine. If there are unresolved threats after the scan,
you will be prompted to choose the actions to be taken on them.
