Scan a Folder
- Click 'Tasks' > 'General Tasks' > 'Scan' > 'Custom Scan' > 'Folder Scan'
- Folder scans let you check specific folders on your hard drive, CD/DVD, or external device.
|
Tip: Alternatively, simply right-click on a folder then select 'Scan with COMODO
Antivirus'. |
Scan a specific folder
- Click
the 'Scan' tile on the CCS home screen
- Select 'Custom Scan' > 'Folder Scan'
- Browse to the folder you want to check then click 'OK':
- The CCS starts scanning the items in the folder.
|
Note - CCS skips files which are larger than the max. size, and those that take longer to scan than the max time allowed. Click 'Settings' > 'Antivirus' > 'Scans' to view these thresholds. |
- Scan results are shown when the scan finishes:
- The results window shows the number of detected threats. You can clean, move to quarantine, or ignore the threat. See Process infected files for more details.
The results window has two tabs:
- Threats Found: The number of files scanned and the number of viruses found.
- Use the drop-down to choose whether to clean, quarantine or ignore the threat.
- See 'Process infected files' if you need help with these options.
- Skipped
Files: Files that were not checked for
viruses. The scanner skipped these files as they took longer than
the scan time limit
(default
= 9 mins).
