      • You will see a list of all existing scan profiles
      • Click 'Add' to create a new profile
      • Type a name for your profile
      • Use the buttons at the top to add items to your profile:
      • Add File - Pick individual files that you want to scan.
      • Add Folder - Add entire folders to the profile. All files in the folder are covered by the scan.
      • Add Area - Scan a computer region. The choices are 'Full Computer', 'Commonly Infected Areas' and 'System Memory'.
      • Repeat the process to add more items to the profile.

      • Clean - Will delete the file
      • Quarantine - Moves the file into a secure, encrypted holding area. Quarantining a file renders it harmless
