6.4. Automatic Device Detection
BitDefender automatically detects when you connect a removable storage device
to your computer and offers to scan it before you access its files. This is
recommended in order to prevent viruses and other malware from infecting your
computer.
Detected devices fall into one of these categories:
● CDs/DVDs
● USB storage devices, such as flash pens and external hard-drives
● mapped (remote) network drives
When such a device is detected, an alert window is displayed.
To scan the storage device, just click Yes. The Antivirus Scan wizard will appear
and guide you through the scanning process.
If you do not want to scan the device, you must click No. In this case, you may find
one of these options useful:
● Don't ask me again about this type of device - BitDefender will no longer
offer to scan storage devices of this type when they are connected to your
computer.
● Disable automatic device detection - You will no longer be prompted to scan
new storage devices when they are connected to the computer.
If you accidentally disabled automatic device detection and you want to enable it,
or if you want to configure its settings, follow these steps:
1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and
choose Expert View.
2. Go to Antivirus>Virus Scan.
3. In the list of scan tasks, locate the Device Scanning task.
4. Right-click the task and select Properties. A new window will appear.
5. On the Overview tab, configure the scanning options as needed. For more
information, please refer to “Configuring Scan Settings” (p. 74).
6. On the Detection tab, choose which types of storage devices to be detected.
7. Click OK to save and apply the changes.
