Configuring Scan Settings

To configure the scanning options of a specific scan task, right-click it and select

Properties.

You can easily configure the scanning options by adjusting the scan level. Drag the

slider along the scale to set the desired scan level. Use the description on the right

side of the scale to identify the scan level that better fits your needs.

You can also configure these general options:

● Run the task with Low priority. Decreases the priority of the scan process.

You will allow other programs to run faster and increase the time needed for the

scan process to finish.

● Minimize Scan Wizard to system tray. Minimizes the scan window to the

system tray. Double-click the BitDefender icon to open it.

● Specify the action to be taken if no threats are found.

Advanced users might want to take advantage of the scan settings BitDefender

offers. The scanner can be set to scan only specific file extensions, to search for

specific malware threats or to skip archives. This may greatly reduce scanning times

and improve your computer's responsiveness during a scan.
