Spybot - Search & Destroy 2

File Scan

The File Scan allows you to scan selected files without having to do a complete system scan. It can be accessed in different ways:

  • If Explorer integration is installed, by right-clicking any file or folder in Windows Explorer.
  • If AutoPlay integration is installed, by selecting the Spybot option when connecting devices like USB sticks.
  • By dragging files onto the File Scan icon.
  • By dragging files into the File Scan open window.

It also offers to clean files if something is identified.
