Scanner

The Scanner index card enables you to easily configure or start an on-demand scan. Predefined profiles enable a scan with already adapted default options. In the same way it is possible to adapt the scan for viruses and unwanted programs to your personal requirements with the help of manual selection (not saved). The required action can be selected either via the icon in the toolbar, via shortcut or via the context menu. You can start a scan via the item Start scan with the selected profile.

The display and handling of the profiles corresponds to that of the Windows Explorer. Every folder in the main directory corresponds to one profile. Folders to be scanned are selected or can be selected with a check mark in front of the folder to be scanned.

• To change drives, double-click on the required letter of the drive.

• To select drives, you can click on the box in front of the drive icon or select via the context menu.

• You can navigate through the menu structure with the aid of the scroll bar and the scroll arrows.
