Infected items are not cleaned automatically. Scanning without cleaning can be used to obtain an overview of the
current protection status. If you are only interested in scanning the system without additional cleaning actions,
select Scan without cleaning. Furthermore, you can choose from three cleaning levels by clicking Setup... > Cleaning.
Information about scanning is saved to a scan log.
You can choose a profile from the Scan profile drop-down menu to be used for scanning chosen targets. The default
profile is Smart scan. There are two more pre-defined scan profiles called In-depth scan and Context menu scan.
These scan profiles use different ThreatSense engine parameters. Click Setup... to set up chosen scan profile from
the Scan profile menu in detail. The available options are described in Scanner setup.
Click Save to save changes made to your target selection, including selections made within the folder tree structure.
Click Scan to execute the scan using the custom parameters that you have set.
Scan as Administrator allows you to execute the scan under the Administrator account. Click this if the current user
doesn't have privileges to access the appropriate files to be scanned. Note that this button is not available if the
current user cannot call UAC operations as Administrator.
4.1.1.2.2 Scan progress
The scan progress window shows the current status of the scan and information about the number of files found
that contain malicious code.
NOTE: It is normal that some files, such as password protected files or files being exclusively used by the system
(typically pagefile.sys and certain log files), cannot be scanned.
The progress bar shows the percentage of already-scanned objects compared to objects still waiting to be scanned.
This value is derived from the total number of objects included in a scan.
Tips:
Click the magnifier or arrow to show details about the scan that is currently running.
You can run another parallel scan by clicking Smart scan or Custom scan....
Objects – Shows the total number of scanned files, threats found and threats cleaned during a scan.
