How to Run a Virus Scan

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.
