Cannot scan USB
Accepted Answer
-
There is a bug where some USB devices that do not use standard filesystem have the option to scan them in right-click context menu. When trying to use this option you get an error and scan does not start. This is fixed in (soon to come) 18.5 release where the option is no longer there.

Hi @User_95863
Welcome to the Community page. Thank you for your post.
We only have English and Finnish language support on our Community page.
However, regarding your issue, may I confirm with you that you do not have an option to "Scan for viruses" after plugging in your USB stick when right-clicking?
If yes, kindly go to this link to uninstall by using the Uninstallation tool and reinstall SAFE again https://community.f-secure.com/safe-en/kb/articles/6284-how-to-reinstall-f-secure-safe-for-windows
If not, kindly provide us with more details of the issue. You may also attach a screenshot to this post.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you and stay safe.
