Additional scan settings - the link opens a new Computer shutdown
options dialog where you can decide whether the computer should be shut
down automatically once the running scanning process is over. Having
confirmed this option (Shutdown computer upon scan completion), a new
option activates that allows the computer to shut down even if it is currently
locked (Force shutdown is computer is locked).
Warning: These scan settings are identical to the parameters of a newly defined scan
- as described in the chapter
AVG Scanning / Scan scheduling/ How to Scan
.
Should you decide to change the default configuration of the Scan the whole
computer you can then save your new setting as the default configuration to be
used for all further scans of the whole computer.
11.2.2. Scan Specific Files or Folders
Scan specific files or folders - scans only those areas of your computer that you
have selected to be scanned (selected folders, hard disks, floppy discs, CDs, etc.).
The scanning progress in case of virus detection and its treatment is the same as with
the scan of the whole computer: any virus found is healed or removed to the
Virus
Vault
. Specific files or folders scanning can be used to set up your own tests and
their scheduling based on your needs.
