If you only wish to scan a certain part of your disk, click
Custom scan and select targets to be scanned for

As a general example of how infiltrations are handled in
ESET NOD32 Antivirus, suppose that an infiltration is
detected by the real-time file system monitor, which
uses the Default cleaning level. It will attempt to clean or
delete the file. If there is no predefined action to take for
the real-time protection module, you will be asked to
select an option in an alert window. Usually, the options
Clean, Delete and No action
action is not recommended, since the infected file(s)
would be left untouched. An exception to this is when
you are sure that the file is harmless and has been
detected by mistake.
Cleaning and deleting
attacked by a virus that has attached malicious code to
it. If this is the case, first attempt to clean the infected file
in order to restore it to its original state. If the file
consists exclusively of malicious code, it will be deleted.
Deleting files in archives
mode, the entire archive will be deleted only if it contains
infected files and no clean files. In other words, archives
are not deleted if they also contain harmless clean files.
However, use caution when performing a
cleaning scan – with Strict cleaning
deleted if it contains at least one infected file, regardless
of the status of other files in the archive.
