4.1.4.2 Scan targets
The Scan targets drop-down menu allows you to select files, folders and devices (disks) to be scanned for viruses.
By profile settings – Selects targets set in the selected scan profile
Removable media – Selects diskettes, USB storage devices, CD/DVD
Local drives – Selects all system hard drives
Network drives – Selects all mapped drives
No selection – Cancels all selections
A scan target can also be more precisely specified by entering the path to the folder or file(s) you wish to include in
scanning. Select targets from the tree structure listing all devices available on the computer.
4.1.4.3 Scan profiles
Your preferred scan parameters can be saved for future scanning. We recommend that you create a different profile
(with various scan targets, scan methods and other parameters) for each regularly used scan.
To create a new profile, open the Advanced Setup window (F5) and click On-demand computer scan > Profiles...
The Configuration profiles window has a drop-down menu of existing scan profiles as well as the option to create
a new one. To help you create a scan profile to fit your needs, see section ThreatSense engine parameters setup
for a description of each parameter of the scan setup.
EXAMPLE: Suppose that you want to create your own scan profile and the Smart scan configuration is partially
suitable, but you don’t want to scan runtime packers or potentially unsafe applications and you also want to apply
Strict cleaning. From the Configuration profiles window, click the Add... button. Enter the name of your new
profile in the Profile name field, and select Smart scan from the Copy settings from profile: drop-down menu.
Then adjust the remaining parameters to meet your requirements.
