Scan a single file on Windows

With UltraAV, you can scan single files that you may have downloaded from the Internet. This is also known as a Custom Scan.

This is helpful if you've downloaded a file someone may have sent you, or if you have downloaded a file from somewhere on the Internet and you want to make sure it is clean before you launch it.
