Starting and stopping scan tasks

To start or stop a scan task:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the main application window, click Scan.

    The Scan window will open.

  3. Do one of the following:
    • To start a scan task, click the Start button under the scan task that you want to start.

      The progress of the running scan task is displayed.

    • To stop a scan task, click the Stop button under the scan task that you want to stop.

      The scan task stops, and information about the scanned objects and detected threats is displayed.

  4. To view the report on the scan task, click the Show report button.

When an infected object is detected or the scan task is completed, a pop-up window appears in the notification area near the application icon on the right side of the taskbar.

The Scan window also displays the progress and results of temporary boot sector scan tasks (Scan_Boot_Sectors_{ID}) and temporary custom file scan tasks (Scan_File_{ID}). You can hide information about temporary tasks that are already completed by clicking the cross or by closing the Scan window (when switching to the main window or when exiting the application).
