Scan your Computer for Viruses 

You can run a full scan, a quick scan, or create a custom scan according to your preferences.

Run an on-demand virus scan

• Open Xcitium Client Security

• Click the 'Antivirus' tab

• Click 'Run a Scan' in the antivirus tasks area

XCS ships with two pre-defined scan profiles

• My Computer - Scans every drive, folder and file on your system, including external devices.

• Critical Areas - A targeted scan of important files and folders.

Select the profile you want to use then click 'Scan'. 

• Create New Scan. Create your own custom scan of specific files, folders or drives. See custom scan to find out more.

XCS will check for and download any available updates before starting the scan. The scan will commence after updates have been installed:

Results are shown at the end of the scan:

• Click the 'Results' button to see detailed file information

• The results window shows any threats discovered by the scan and lets you decide how to handle them:

• Ignore - Two options:

• Once - The file is removed from the threat results and remains in its current location. The file will be detected as a threat again by the next scan.

• Add to Exclusions – Creates an exception for the file. The virus scanner will skip the file in future and not consider it to be a threat. The file is added to the Exclusions list.

• Save Results – Export the scan results to a text file.

• Select 'All' if you want to apply 'Clean' or 'Ignore' actions to every threat.

Create a new scan profile

• Open Xcitium Client Security

• Click the 'Antivirus' tab > Click 'Run a Scan'

• Click 'Create New Scan'
  

• Name - Create a label for the scan profile.

• Click 'Add' to select the files/ folders/ drives you want in the scan

There are two ways to add items:

• Manually enter the path in the 'Add new item' field > Click the '+' button

OR

• Drag and drop items from the left pane to the right pane

• Repeat the process to add multiple items

• Click 'Apply'
  

• Click 'Apply' again to save the profile.

You can also create profiles in the Scan Profiles area (open XCS > 'Antivirus' tab > 'Scan Profiles')

• Note: Managed endpoints – Scan profiles should be configured in a Xcitium Enterprise Endpoint Manager profile.

Instantly Scan Objects

• Drag items into the scan box on the summary screen.

• You can drag virtually any type of item - files, folders, photos, applications or drives.

See Run an Instant Antivirus Scan on Selected Items for more help with this.
