5. System Scanner<br />
With the System Scanner component, you can carry out targeted scans (on-demand<br />
scans) for viruses and unwanted programs. The following options are available for<br />
scanning for infected files:<br />
System Scanner<br />
� System scan via context menu<br />
The system scan via the context menu (right-hand mouse button - entry Scan selected<br />
files with Avira) is recommended if, for example, you wish to scan individual files and<br />
directories. Another advantage is that it is not necessary to first start the Control Center<br />
for a system scan via the context menu.<br />
� System scan via drag & drop<br />
When a file or directory is dragged into the program window of the Control Center, the<br />
System Scanner scans the file or directory and all sub-directories it contains. This<br />
procedure is recommended if you wish to scan individual files and directories that you<br />
have saved, for example, on your desktop.<br />
� System scan via profiles<br />
This procedure is recommended if you wish to regularly scan certain directories and<br />
drives (e.g. your work directory or drives on which you regularly store new files). You do<br />
not then need to select these directories and drives again for every new scan, you<br />
simply select using the relevant profile. See System scan via profiles.<br />
� System scan via the Scheduler<br />
The Scheduler enables you to carry out time-controlled scans. See System scan via the<br />
Scheduler.<br />
Special processes are required when scanning for rootkits, boot sector viruses, and when<br />
scanning active processes. The following options are available:<br />
� Scan for rootkits via the scan profile Scan for Rootkits and active malware<br />
� Scan active processes via the scan profile Active processes<br />
� Scan for boot sector viruses via the menu command Boot records scan... in the menu<br />
