The displays once a scan is initiated and is used to monitor progress of the scan. Once risks are detected, they are counted. While a scan is running, you can Pause/Resume or Cancel it.
Note: Once a scan completes, a screen opens with Scan Results.
Progress area:
The progress area displays all of the scanning information as it is detected in real-time.
- progress: Displays the percentage of the scan complete.
- Progress circle: Graphically displays how much of the scan has been completed.
- Hide Details/Show Details: Hides or displays the scanning progress graphic. You can choose to see more detailed info about what VIPRE is scanning.
- Scanning: Displays the file path and filename of what is being scanned.
- Risks detected: Displays the number of risks detected at that moment and the number of traces.
Scan Results:
This displays a table of risks discovered during the scan. You can click on a column heading to sort by that column.
The table includes the following columns:
- Action: Displays the action to be taken: Quarantined, Remove, Allow, or Always Allow.
- Name: Displays the name of the risk that uses to refer to this risk. Other security companies may use a different name. Click on a threat's name to see more info about it.
- Type: Displays the type (or category) of the risk (e.g. Adware, Trojan, Rootkit, Virus, Worm, Unknown Program, and Misc).
- Traces: Displays the number of traces of this risk that were detected.
- Level: Displays the severity of the risk. You can use this as a general guide in determining what action to take for a particular risk. The risk levels include Low, Moderate, Elevated, High, and Severe. The level is accompanied by a color scale. The more area filled in by colors, the greater the risk and the greater the urgency of you acting on it.
Scan Statistics: Displays the number of traces detected in the number of items scanned as well as the scan’s total duration.
Buttons:
- Pause: Click to temporarily stop an ongoing scan. Once clicked, it changes to the Resume button.
- Resume: Click to continue a paused scan. (The Resume button is only displayed if the scan has been paused.)
- Cancel: Click to terminate the scan. You will not be prompted to verify.
- Back: Click to return to displaying overall information instead of just scanning information.
