avast! - help: virus scanning |
Area selection
Before the scan is started, you have to specify what should be scanned. You can choose from 3 areas:
Home directory
If you select Home directory, only the files located in the home directory of the currently logged-on user will be scanned. So, if e.g. the user martin is currently logged on, the directory /home/martin will be scanned.
Entire system
avast! will scan all files on all logical partitions.
Selected directory
Select this option if you want to scan a specific directory or directories. You can add new directories to the list using the button + (plus), and remove them using the button - (minus).
