    In the control center, whenever I want to scan my PC, I do the following:

    1. Open NOD32 in the threat protection modules section

    2. When I click on any of the 4 options (In depth analysis, Local, Run NOD32, Diskettes), the program starts to scan.

    But it doesn't let me access any of the tabs to set (and I want to do it permanently) the program to ONLY scan my c: drive. It tries to scan my tape backup drive which I don't want it do do.

    What can I do?

    Thanks,
    Bruce

    In the desktop on demand scanner, double click the drive(s) you don't want to scan to remove the checkmark.

    Did you try double clicking the drives to remove/add the checkmark?

    I can get to the desktop but I can't seem to access the tabs. When I click on Run NOD32 it starts scanning. I can see the tabs, but can't seem to access them before the scan starts.

    Do you have a desktop icon for NOD as well as the tray icon? Choose the desktop icon.

    Got it. But I still had to cancel the scan before I could access the tabs. At least it worked! Thanks for the assist.

    The only option that won't automatically scan your files is the one entitled "Run Nod32", the others are predefined scanning sets. It will scan your memory very briefly, then take you to a page that looks similar to this:

    Then, just double click the drive/s you wish to de/select. :)

    Alternatively, you can just right click the drive you wish to scan and it will do so with whichever scanning set you have determined in the profiles tab from the above screenshot to "use this profile for scanning files/folders from within the context menu" as shown below.

    I would set up a scheduled scan for the C Drive only as shown in the NOD32 Tutorial, and leave the profile set to scan all drives.

    Cheers :D
