Scanning from the Finder

bobcook

Doing a bit of thinking about the existing feature set in the product and wanted to get some feedback. Today there is a feature that allows you to scan a folder or file from the Finder (right click and select Scan with Sophos Anti-Virus). There isn't any specific configuration for this option, it just uses whatever settings are configure for Scan Local Drives.

Looking for some feedback from users with strong feelings about this feature (scanning from the Finder). Something you use regularly? Would you miss it if we took away this feature? If we keep it, do you want to configure it separately? If you're thinking "meh, could live with it or without it" then no need to reply. If you feel really strongly, let me know about it in this thread.

    I have my full scan options set the way I want.  I like being able to scan a specific folder or file from Finder. It's a lot faster than creating a custom scan for various locations on the hard drive, etc.

    I don't see a need to make this more complicated by having to configure a "one-time" scan, each time.

    I just scanned my downloads folder and some separate files and feel safer now. I use a few programs that have you do clean installs and it's a good idea to scan the latest versions before installing them.

    To get to the point: I want you to keep this feature, please!
