Dr.Web Scanner scans files on your device upon your request. It performs express or full check of the whole file system or scans critical files and folders only.
You should periodically scan the system, especially if SpIDer Guard has not been active for a while. Usually, the express scan is sufficient for this purpose.
Scanning
To scan the system, on the Dr.Web main screen, select Scanner (see Figure 37) and then select one of the following actions:
•To check installed applications, select Express scan.
•To scan all the files in the system, select Full scan.
•To scan only critical files and folders, select Custom scan and then select an object you want to scan.
To scan the whole folder, select the Scan folder option. To go up a level, select Up.
If your device is rooted, you can also scan /sbin and /data folders located in the root directory.
After the scanning is finished, the following information is shown:
•Number of scanned objects.
•Number of detected threats.
•Start time.
•Scan time.
To open check results, select OK.
