Here is how you can scan and remove viruses from your external hard drive: Nonetheless, the overall idea of scanning the volumes of an external hard drive remains the same. Note: Depending upon the vendor and version of the antivirus software that is installed on your PC, the available scanning option in the drives’ context menu and the opened interface when the scanning is initialized may vary. To manually initialize the virus scanning process for an external hard drive (technically all the available volumes on the drive), you are required to right-click each volume individually and pick the scanning option from the context menu. If your antivirus program does not automatically scan the hard drive and detect the virus, you can do so manually. If your external hard drive is infected with a virus, chances are that antivirus software – if it is installed on your computer – would detect the virus as soon as the hard drive is connected to your PC.
