Under certain circumstances, you may want to scan individual objects rather than the entire computer (for example, select hard drives, programs, games, e-mails etc).

To do so, select the object in Windows Explorer, or on the Desktop, right-click the mouse, and select Scan for viruses. A scan of the selected object will begin, and the details will be shown in a special window. You can hide the scan information window. To do so, simply close it. This will not stop the scan.
