Scan Locations

You can specify the locations, such as the registry or specific folders, for Full Scan, Quick Scan, and custom on-demand scans.

Trellix ENS scanners treat all files and folders as case insensitive — all case variations of the specified locations are scanned. For example, if you specify the scan location C:\Temp\ABC, the on-demand scanner also scans C:\temp\abc and C:\TEMP\Abc.
