for viruses and unwanted programs in several ways.

– On-demand scan via context menu
The on-demand-scan via the context menu (right-hand mouse button - entry
Scan selected files with AntiVir) is recommended if, for example, you wish to
scan individual files and directories. Another advantage is that it is not necessary
to first start the Avira Premium Security Suite Control Center for an on-demand
scan via the context menu.
– On-demand scan via drag & drop
When a file or directory is dragged into the program window of the Avira
Premium Security Suite Control Center, the Scanner scans the file or directory
and all sub-directories it contains. This procedure is recommended if you wish to
scan individual files and directories that you have saved, for example, on your
desktop.
– On-demand scan via profiles
This procedure is recommended if you wish to regularly scan certain directories
and drives (e.g. your work directory or drives on which you regularly store new
files). You do not then need to select these directories and drives again for every
new scan, you simply select using the relevant profile.
– On-demand scan via the Scheduler
The Scheduler enables you to carry out time-controlled scans.
