16.2.7. Checking scan logs
Each time a scan is performed, a scan log is created and Bitdefender records the
detected issues in the Antivirus Overview window. The scan log contains detailed
information about the logged scanning process, such as scanning options, the
scanning target, the threats found and the actions taken on these threats.
You can open the scan log directly from the scan wizard, once the scan is completed,
by clicking Show Log.
To check a scan log or any detected infection at a later time, follow these steps:
1. Open the Bitdefender window.
2. Click the Events button on the upper toolbar.
3. In the Events Overview window, select Antivirus.
4. In the Antivirus Events window, select the Virus Scan tab. This is where you
can find all malware scan events, including threats detected by on-access
scanning, user-initiated scans and status changes for automatic scans.
5. In the events list, you can check what scans have been performed recently. Click
an event to view details about it.
6. To open the scan log, click View log.
16.3. Automatic scan of removable media
Bitdefender automatically detects when you connect a removable storage device
to your computer and scans it in the background. This is recommended in order to
prevent viruses and other malware from infecting your computer.
Detected devices fall into one of these categories:
● CDs/DVDs
● USB storage devices, such as flash pens and external hard-drives
● mapped (remote) network drives
You can configure automatic scan separately for each category of storage devices.
Automatic scan of mapped network drives is off by default.
16.3.1. How does it work?
When it detects a removable storage device, Bitdefender starts scanning it for
malware in the background (provided automatic scan is enabled for that type of
device). A Bitdefender scan icon will appear in the system tray. You can click this
icon to open the scan window and to see the scan progress.
If Autopilot is on, you will not be bothered about the scan. The scan will only be
logged and information about it will be available in the Events window.
