Using McAfee VirusScan
Manually scanning your computer
The Scan feature lets you selectively search for viruses and other threats on hard
drives, floppy disks, and individual files and folders. When Scan finds a suspect
file, it automatically tries to clean the file, unless it is a Potentially Unwanted
Program. If Scan cannot clean the file, you can quarantine or delete the file.
