How to run a removable drive scan
Removable drives that you connect to the computer may contain viruses or other applications that present a threat. Kaspersky Security Cloud scans removable drives to prevent your computer from becoming infected. You can configure a removable drive scan to be started manually or automatically when a removable drive is connected to the computer. Automatic scanning of removable drives is enabled by default.
To manually scan a removable drive:
- Open the main application window.
- Click the Scan button.
The Scan window opens.
- In the Scan window, select the Removable drives scan section.
- In the drop-down list, select the drive letter of the external device and click on the Run scan button.
Kaspersky Security Cloud will start scanning the connected device.
