About custom scans

You can create a custom scan if you regularly scan a

particular segment of your computer. This custom scan

lets you scan the segment frequently without having

to specify it every time. You can also schedule the

custom scan to run automatically on specific dates and

times or at periodic intervals. You can schedule a scan

according to your preferences. If the scheduled scan

begins when you use your computer, you can run the

scan in the background instead of stopping your work.

You can delete the scan when it is no longer necessary.

For example, if you work on a project for which you

need to swap files frequently with others. In this case,

you might want to create a folder into which you copy

and scan those files before using them. When the

project is done, you can delete the custom scan for that

folder.

Creating a custom scan

Instead of running the default scans that are listed in

the Scans pane, you can create your own scans that

meet your specific requirements. For example, you can

create a scan that checks a folder in which you store

all the downloaded files.

You can create a custom scan in the Scans window.

When you create custom scans, you can also schedule

them to run automatically on specific dates and times

or at periodic intervals.
