▶ Infected files. Files detected as infected match a malware signature in the

BitDefender Malware Signature Database. BitDefender can normally remove

the malware code from an infected file and reconstruct the original file. This

operation is known as disinfection.

Note

Malware signatures are snippets of code extracted from actual malware samples.

They are used by antivirus programs to perform pattern-matching and detect

malware.

The BitDefender Malware Signature Database is a collection of malware

signatures updated hourly by the BitDefender malware researchers.

▶ Suspicious files. Files are detected as suspicious by the heuristic analysis.

Suspicious files cannot be disinfected, because no disinfection routine is

available.

▶ Hidden files (rootkits). Please note that these hidden files are not the files

that you deliberately hide from Windows. They are the files hidden by special

programs, known as rootkits. Rootkits are not malicious in nature. However,

they are commonly used to make viruses or spyware undetectable by normal

antivirus programs.

You should not change the default actions taken on detected files unless you have

a strong reason to do so.

To set a new action, click the current First action and select the desired option

from the menu. Specify a Second action that will be taken in case the first one

fails.

Click OK to save the changes and close the window. To run the task, just click Scan.

Setting Scan Target

You cannot modify the scan target of the scan tasks from the System Tasks

category. You can only see their scan target. To view the scan target of a specific

system scan task, right-click the task and select Show Scan Paths.

To set the scan target of a specific user scan task, right-click the task and select

Paths. Alternatively, if you are already in the Properties window of a task, select

the Paths tab.

You can see the list of local, network and removable drives as well as the files or

folders added previously, if any. All checked items will be scanned when running

the task.

The following buttons are available:

● Add Item(s) - opens a browsing window where you can select the file(s) / folder(s)

that you want to be scanned.
