Using different antivirus programs may differ in performance and operations but generally they share a common procedure in scanning. Consider the steps below. (an antivirus should be installed first before proceeding the following steps and operating system used is microsoft)

For scanning physical drives (c:, d: ,e: or more):

1. Go to the My Computer or press win+e
2. With your mouse, point which drive to scan (a: or c: d: etc..)
3. Right click on the drive icon and choose scan drive (an antivirus logo usually appears in the context menu and click that option)
4. A dialogue box and a scan progress bar appears. Wait for the scan to complete, if there is a virus detection, choose the best antivirus action prompted in the dialogue box.
5. Done. If necessary, repeat the scanning procedure or proceed to scan other drives.


For scanning a Flash drive or other external drives:

1. Plug in your flash drive in the usb port (looks like a flat female plug, anyway there is no other thing to plug your flash drives..lol :P)
2. As your flash drive is recognized in your computer system, do steps 1 to 5 of the steps above.



Goodluck!
