To "scan" a file with your anti-virus program:
1. Open the file manager (hold down the Windows key, tap
the letter E on your keyboard, or, go to "My Computer.")
2. Find the file you saved.
3. Right-click on top of the file name.
4. Select your anti-virus program from the list. Click on it.
The anti-virus (AV) program will "run." If it finds a virus, it wll alert you, and then the program may give you choices as to what to do, or, its current settings will automatically "do" whatever it is already "set up to do."
(You can change the settings by opening the actual anti-virus program, looking for "options," "preferences," or similar. If you're nervous about checking off "delete," at the least make sure a setting such as "report & deny" is checked off.)
I usually choose to "delete," but if the affected file/program is important, I'll choose "clean" and hope for the best.
