5. Select the corresponding check box to enable the Intrusion Detection System.<br />

15.2. On-demand Scanning<br />

The main objective for BitDefender is to keep your computer clean of viruses. This<br />

is first and foremost done by keeping new viruses out of your computer and by<br />

scanning your e-mail messages and any new files downloaded or copied to your<br />

system.<br />

There is a risk that a virus is already lodged in your system, before you even install<br />

BitDefender. This is why it's a very good idea to scan your computer for resident<br />

viruses after you've installed BitDefender. And it's definitely a good idea to frequently<br />

scan your computer for viruses.<br />

On-demand scanning is based on scan tasks. Scan tasks specify the scanning options<br />

and the objects to be scanned. You can scan the computer whenever you want by<br />

running the default tasks or your own scan tasks (user-defined tasks). You can also<br />

schedule them to run on a regular basis or when the system is idle so as not to<br />

interfere with your work. For quick instructions, please refer to these topics:<br />

● “How Do I Scan Files and Folders?” (p. 107)<br />

● “How Do I Create a Custom Scan Task?” (p. 109)<br />

● “How Do I Schedule a Computer Scan?” (p. 110)<br />

15.2.1. Scanning Files and Folders<br />

You should scan files and folders whenever you suspect they might be infected.<br />

Right-click the file or folder you want to be scanned and select Scan with<br />

BitDefender. The <strong>Antivirus</strong> Scan wizard will appear and guide you through the<br />

scanning process.<br />

If you want to scan specific locations on your computer, you can configure and run<br />

a custom scan task. For more information, please refer to “How Do I Create a Custom<br />

Scan Task?” (p. 109).<br />

To scan your computer or part of it you can run the default scan tasks or your own<br />

scan tasks. To run a scan task, open BitDefender and, depending on the user<br />

interface view mode, proceed as follows:<br />

Basic View<br />

Click the Security button and choose one of the available scan tasks.<br />

Intermediate View<br />

Go to the Security tab. Click Full System Scan in the left-side Quick Tasks<br />

area and choose one of the available scan tasks.<br />
