To generate a list of objects to scan, you can use one of the following two methods:

  • On the Protection and Control tab of the main application window
  • From the application settings window

    This method is available only for the Full Scan and Critical Areas Scan tasks. The list of objects to scan for the Custom Scan task can only be created on the Protection and Control tab.

To create a list of objects to scan on the Protection and Control tab of the main application window:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. Select the Protection and Control tab.
  3. Click the Tasks section.

    The Tasks section opens.

  4. Right-click to open the context menu of the line containing the task name and select Scan scope.

    The Scan scope window opens.

  5. If you want to add a new object to the scan scope:
    1. Click the Add button.

      The Select scan scope window opens.

    2. Select the object and click Add.

      All objects that are selected in the Select scan scope window are displayed in the Scan scope list.

    3. Click OK.
  6. If you want to change the path to an object in the scan scope:
    1. Select the object in the scan scope.
    2. Click the Edit button.

      The Select scan scope window opens.

    3. Enter the new path to the object in the scan scope.
    4. Click OK.
  7. If you want to remove an object from the scan scope:
    1. Select the object that you want to remove from the scan scope.

      To select multiple objects, select them while holding down the CTRL key.

    2. Click the Remove button.

      A window for confirming deletion opens.

    3. Click Yes in the removal confirmation window.

    You cannot remove or edit objects that are included in the default scan scope.

  8. To exclude an object from the scan scope, clear the check box next to the object in the Scan scope window.

    The object remains in the list of objects in the scan scope, but it is not scanned when the scan task runs.

  9. Click OK.
  10. To save changes, click the Save button.

To create a list of objects to scan from the application settings window:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Scheduled tasks section, select the subsection with the name of the required scan task: Full Scan, or Critical Areas Scan.

    In the right part of the window, the settings of the selected scan task are displayed.

  3. Click the Scan scope button.

    The Scan scope window opens.

  4. Create a list of objects to scan according to steps 5-10 of the previous instructions.
