User Manual

will be notified through a pop-up window that a new device has been detected
and it is being scanned.
A Bitdefender scan icon will appear in the system tray. You can click this
icon to open the scan window and to see the scan progress.
When the scan is completed, the scan results window is displayed to inform
you if you can safely access files on the removable media.
In most cases, Bitdefender automatically removes detected threats or isolates
infected files into quarantine. If there are unresolved threats after the scan,
you will be prompted to choose the actions to be taken on them.
Note
Take into account that no action can be taken on infected or suspicious files
detected on CDs/DVDs. Similarly, no action can be taken on infected or
suspicious files detected on mapped network drives if you do not have the
appropriate privileges.
This information may be useful to you:
● Be careful when using a threat-infected CD/DVD, because the threat cannot
be removed from the disc (the media is read-only). Make sure real-time
protection is turned on to prevent threats from spreading to your system.
It is best practice to copy any valuable data from the disc to your system,
and then dispose of the disc.
● In some cases, Bitdefender may not be able to remove threats from specific
files due to legal or technical constraints. Such an example are files
archived using a proprietary technology (this is because the archive cannot
be recreated correctly).
To find out how to deal with threats, refer to “Removing threats from your
system” (p. 198).
