Before you begin

Authorized scope and private backups.

Use the controls offered by your installed version and account permissions. This guide describes the workflow; it does not grant additional access.

Follow the steps

  1. Choose the allowed account/path in Malware Scanner.
  2. Start a scan and inspect completion and findings.
  3. Review each path and reason with the provider.
  4. Use supported quarantine/restore controls after understanding the file.
  5. Verify the application and address vulnerable code and credentials.

Check the result

Scan and selected file actions are recorded.
