Run a Full Scan

  • Click 'Tasks' > 'General Tasks' > 'Scan' > 'Full Scan'
  • A full scan checks every file, folder and drive on your computer. USB and other external drives are also scanned
  • Note - You can change the settings of the full scan profile in 'Settings' > 'Antivirus' > 'Scans'
  • See https://help.xcitium.com/topic-463-1-1033-15923-Scan-Profiles.html for help with this.

Run a full computer scan

  • Click the 'Scan' button on the XCS home screen
OR
  • Click 'Tasks' > 'General Tasks' > 'Scan'
  • Select 'Full Scan'
  • XCS will download the latest database updates then start the scan.
  • You can pause, resume or stop the scan by clicking the appropriate button. If you want to run the scan in the background, click 'Send to Background'

Note - XCS skips files which are larger than the max. size, and those that take longer to scan than is allowed. These thresholds are set in the 'Full Scan' profile, which can be viewed in XCS at 'Settings' > 'Antivirus' > 'Scans'.


  • Results are shown at the end of the scan. The results show the number of items scanned, a list of all discovered threats, and the files that were skipped.
  • You have the following options if threats are found:
  • Clean - Will delete the file
  • Quarantine - Moves the file into a secure, encrypted holding area. Quarantining a file renders it harmless
    • Ignore - Allow the file. You can choose to ignore one-time-only, or ignore and create an exclusion (permanently ignore)
