Step 1: Search for Windows Installations<\/h3>\n

As soon as you select Virus Scanner and then press \u201cContinue,\u201d EasyRE will begin scanning your hard disks for Windows installations. This may take some time depending on the size of your disks and the number of installations EasyRE finds:<\/p>\n

Step 2: Select an installation to scan for viruses<\/h3>\n

Once EasyRE has found and listed all of the operating systems on your PC, you should select the partition that contains the OS you\u2019re trying to scan. EasyRE supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 (all editions, all languages). If you don\u2019t see your installation listed in the results, either your hard disk is disconnected or has been corrupted or wiped, in which case you should try using testdisk to recover your partitions and restart your PC before searching for installations once more.<\/p>\n
