Run a full computer scan
- Click the 'Scan' button on the CCS home screen
OR
- Click 'Tasks' > 'General Tasks' > 'Scan'
- Select 'Full Scan'
- CCS will download the latest database updates then start the scan.
- You can pause, resume or stop the scan by clicking the appropriate button. If you want to run the scan in the background, click 'Send to Background'
|
Note - CCS skips files which are larger than the max. size, and those that take longer to scan than is allowed. These thresholds are set in the 'Full Scan' profile, which can be viewed in CCS at 'Settings' > 'Antivirus' > 'Scans'. |
- Results are shown at the end of the scan. The results show the number of items scanned, a list of all discovered threats, and the files that were skipped.
- You have the following options if threats are found:
- Clean - Will delete the file
- Quarantine - Moves the file into a secure, encrypted holding area. Quarantining a file renders it harmless
- Ignore - Allow the file. You can choose to ignore one-time-only, or ignore and create an exclusion (permanently ignore)
