Issue/Question
- I want to run a virus scan on Windows 10
Environment
- Windows 10
- On or off MCC network
Resolution
- Type Windows Security into the search box on the bottom left of your screen.
- Click on Windows Security.
- Click on Virus & Threat protection.
- To do a Quick scan, click Quick Scan. If you are concerned about a virus or haven't done a virus scan in a while please do a full scan. See in instructions below on how to do a full scan.
- To do a full scan, click Scan options. Full scans could take an hour or longer to complete. You can continue to do your work. The computer may just be a little slower than normal.
- Click the Full scan radio button.
- Click Scan now.
Once the scan is completed you will get the results. You will get options to remove any virus or threats.
Note: If any issues are found by the scan on your college-issued computer, please contact the CIT Service Desk at 586-445-7156.
