Your scan finished and the Results window pops up. Don’t stress. This screen is your action hub: it shows what was found, lets you choose what happens, and gets you back to a clean PC in a couple of clicks.
Big message at the top tells you how things went. If it says Your system is at risk!, it just means action is needed.
List in the middle shows every item that was flagged.
Panel on the right shows totals: threats, PUPs, and how many things were checked.
Two buttons at the bottom: Apply to fix, Skip to leave things as they are.
That’s it. Now let’s make smart choices.
At the top of the list you can set Type: All to something else if you only want to see one kind of result.
Threats are the serious stuff.
PUPs are potentially unwanted programs like toolbars or adware.
Parts of a threat are extra pieces or another location for the same thing.
Advanced mode: there’s a toggle at the bottom. When it’s ON, you choose a different action for each item. When it’s OFF, Gridinsoft Anti-Malware auto-selects smart, safe actions for you.
Each row tells you:
Name of the detection
Where it lives on your PC
One sentence about what it tries to do
An action menu on the right
Cheat-sheet actions
Move to quarantine - recommended for almost everything. Safe, reversible.
Delete - permanent. Use when you are sure you will never need it.
Ignore - keep it as is. Use for known safe items only.
Above the list you will see Apply to all. Use it to set one action for all shown items at once. Example: quarantine all PUPs in a single click.
Tip: filter to a type first, then use Apply to all for a clean sweep.
Ready? Click Apply. Gridinsoft does the work and shows a completion message. If you are still unsure about something, it is fine to Skip and return later.
This magnifier-style panel on the right is your scoreboard:
Threats - count of risky items
PUPs - count of potentially unwanted programs
Total detections - everything found this scan
You don’t need to click anything here. It’s just a quick snapshot.
It happens. Choose Quarantine first so nothing can run. Then:
Open Quarantine later and Restore if you confirm it is safe.
Or add it to your Ignore list to prevent future flags.
Still unsure? Use the Let us know link at the bottom to report a possible false positive.
Can I use the PC while I decide?
Yes. The Results window just waits for your choice.
What should I pick by default?
Move to quarantine. It is safe and you can undo it.
Why are there several lines for one thing?
Some threats have extra parts in different places. Taking action on the main line handles the pieces too.
I just want the app to choose for me
Click clean them all at the top. Gridinsoft uses sensible defaults.
Review the list, pick Move to quarantine for threats and potentially unwanted programs;
Use Apply to all for quick cleanups;
Press Apply and you’re done.
