Run a manual scan

You can run a manual scan directly from Windows to quickly check the security of a specific file, folder, or set of files and folders.

Run a manual scan if you suspect that a particular location on your PC might have been compromised, and you want to check it without checking the rest of your system.

Anywhere in Windows, right-click the item you want to check, then click Scan for threats.
To select more than one item, hold the Ctrl key while selecting.
