Pop-up menu in scans

 

From the Full Scan section in the Control panel, you can carry out any type of scan, create new scans (scan jobs), modify existing scan jobs, etc. All of these operations can be carried out through the options in the corresponding panels or through the options in the pop-up menus (these menus vary depending on the section).

 

Pop-up menu in scan types

The scan section contains three large groups: On-demand scans, Scan other items (in on-demand scans) and Scheduled scans. If you right-click on any of these titles, the option New scan is displayed. Selecting this option allows you to create a new scan job. For more information, consult the How do I create a new scan? (on-demand / scheduled) section in this Help.

 

Pop-up menus in predefined scan jobs (on-demand / scheduled) and in items to scan

Predefined scan jobs are those scans are defined by default in the program (Scan all My Computer, Scan hard disks, etc). If you right-click on any default on-demand or scheduled scan or on any item in Scan other items, the following options are displayed:

 

·      Scan. The selected item is immediately scanned.

·      Configure. This option is only available for predefined on-demand scan jobs (not scheduled). It allows you to set the characteristics of the on-demand scan of the selected item.

·      Edit scan. This option is only available for predefined scheduled scans (not on-demand). It allows you to set the characteristics of the scheduled scan job (and its schedule) and the selected item.

·      New scan. This option allows you to create a new scan of any item.

 

Pop-up menu for new scans created by the user

From the Full Scan you can create new scan jobs, both on-demand and scheduled and configure and delete existing scan jobs.

 

image\nota_shg.gif Note: You can only delete the new scan jobs that the user has created. Predefined on-demand scans cannot be deleted: Scan all system, Scan hard disks, Scan all e-mail, Scan the floppy disk drive or Scan other items. It is also impossible to delete the predefined scheduled scans: Outlook startup scan, Scan at system startup and Windows startup scan.

 

If you right-click on this type of scan (those created by the user), the following options are displayed:

 

·      Scan. The selected scan job immediately starts.

·      Edit scan. This option allows you to specify the characteristics of the scan job that you have selected. This is the scan configuration.

·      Delete scan. This option allows you to delete the selected scan job. As mentioned earlier, this option does not appear in the pop-up menu for predefined scans, as they cannot be deleted.

·      New scan. This option allows you to create a new scan job (on-demand and scheduled).
