31. How to Scan Files and Folders
Scanning is easy and flexible with Acronis Backup and Security 2010. There are 4
ways to set Acronis to scan files and folders for viruses and other malware:
Using Windows Contextual Menu
Using Scan Tasks
Using Acronis Manual Scan
Using Scan Activity Bar
Once you initiate a scan, the Antivirus Scan wizard will appear and guide you through
the process. For detailed information about this wizard, please refer to Antivirus
Scan Wizard (p. 42).
31.1. Using Windows Contextual Menu
This is the easiest and recommended way to scan a file or folder on your computer.
Right-click the object you want to scan and select Scan with Acronis Backup and
Security from the menu. Follow the Antivirus Scan wizard to complete the scan.
Typical situations when you would use this scanning method include the following:
You suspect a specific file or folder to be infected.
Whenever you download from the Internet files that you think they might be
dangerous.
Scan a network share before copying files to your computer.
31.2. Using Scan Tasks
If you want to scan your computer or specific folders regularly, you should consider
using scan tasks. Scan tasks instruct Acronis Backup and Security 2010 what
locations to scan, and which scanning options and actions to apply. Moreover, you
can schedule them to run on a regular basis or at a specific time.
To scan your computer using scan tasks, you must open the Acronis Backup and
Security 2010 interface and run the desired scan task. Depending on the user
interface view mode, different steps are to be followed to run the scan task.
Running Scan Tasks in Novice Mode
In Novice Mode, you can only run a standard scan of the entire computer by clicking
Scan Now. Follow the Antivirus Scan wizard to complete the scan.
