• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here.

Hi everyone,

Can someone tell me if it is possible (and where to) scan an external hard drive for viruses etc. attached to my acer11 chromebook?

thanks,
 
You can select/deselect drives for scanning by going to:
Start Center > System Scan > Stop Scan

Click the dropdown beside "Show scan results", and choose "Scan with different options".

Here, you can select/deselect any connected drives to include or exclude them from the System Scan.
