startup.

15.2.2. Antivirus Scan Wizard

Whenever you initiate an on-demand scan (for example, right-click a folder and

select Scan with BitDefender), the BitDefender Antivirus Scan wizard will appear.

Follow the three-step guided procedure to complete the scanning process.

Note

If the scan wizard does not appear, the scan may be configured to run silently, in the

background. Look for the scan progress icon in the system tray. You can click this

icon to open the scan window and to see the scan progress.

Step 1/3 - Scanning

BitDefender will start scanning the selected objects.

You can see the scan status and statistics (scanning speed, elapsed time, number

of scanned / infected / suspicious / hidden objects and other).

Wait for BitDefender to finish scanning.

Note

The scanning process may take a while, depending on the complexity of the scan.

Password-protected archives. When a password-protected archive is detected,

depending on the scan settings, you may be prompted to provide the password.

Password-protected archives cannot be scanned unless you provide the password.

The following options are available:

● I want to enter the password for this object. If you want BitDefender to

scan the archive, select this option and type the password. If you do not know

the password, choose one of the other options.

● I do not want to enter the password for this object (skip this object).

Select this option to skip scanning this archive.

● I do not want to enter the password for any object (skip all

password-protected objects). Select this option if you do not want to be

bothered about password-protected archives. BitDefender will not be able to scan

them, but a record will be kept in the scan log.

Click OK to continue scanning.

Stopping or pausing the scan. You can stop scanning anytime you want by

clicking Stop&Yes. You will go directly to the last step of the wizard. To temporarily

stop the scanning process, just click Pause. You will have to click Resume to resume

scanning.
