About custom scans
You can create a custom scan if you regularly scan a
particular segment of your computer. This custom scan
lets you scan the segment frequently without having
to specify it every time. You can also schedule the
custom scan to run automatically on specific dates and
times or at periodic intervals. You can schedule a scan
according to your preferences. If the scheduled scan
begins when you use your computer, you can run the
scan in the background instead of stopping your work.
You can delete the scan when it is no longer necessary.
For example, if you work on a project for which you
need to swap files frequently with others. In this case,
you might want to create a folder into which you copy
and scan those files before using them. When the
project is done, you can delete the custom scan for that
folder.
Creating a custom scan
Instead of running the default scans that are listed in
the Scans pane, you can create your own scans that
meet your specific requirements. For example, you can
create a scan that checks a folder in which you store
all the downloaded files.
You can create a custom scan in the Scans window.
When you create custom scans, you can also schedule
them to run automatically on specific dates and times
or at periodic intervals.
