Scan manually (on-demand scans)
The virus and spyware protection service automatically scans most files when they are accessed.
However, users can scan a particular drive or folder at any time. This is referred to as an
on-demand scan.
The default on-demand scanning policy is:
All processes running in memory are scanned.
All files are scanned.
All critical registry keys are scanned.
In addition, during an on-demand scan of My Computer, the drive where Windows is installed, or
the Windows folder:
All cookies are scanned.
All registry keys are scanned.
Administrators can set a schedule for some or all computers to run an on-demand scan
automatically. See
Schedule on-demand scans on page 95 for more information.

2 Select Scan My Computer, Scan My Documents Folder, or Scan Floppy A:, or select Scan Folder

the computer where the scan was performed. The number and type of detections are uploaded to
the SecurityCenter for inclusion in administrative reports.
