Shortcut Scanner for windows is a program that will scan your computer to search for broken or empty shortcuts to applications and documents that pose potential security threats to it. Such malfunctioning shortcuts could become entry points for malware into its memory; therefore, its task is to locate these broken or inactive ones before (according to user desire) eliminating them permanently from memory.
After you launch the program, it is necessary to run a scanning process in order to protect all drives on your system or scan specific items (like partitions or directories). At this stage, you have various choices regarding scanning procedures: complete PC or single item scan (for instance just partition or directory). Of course, choosing between scanning or not will determine the duration of this operation; however, even scanning an entire PC should only take minutes at most to complete. Once found, this application will display them on screen along with their names and exact paths – including any potential dangers such as links referring to programs which were later uninstalled (making these shortcuts no longer functional).
Shortcut Scanner download for windows 10 icons may be considered one of the program’s largest drawbacks – their symbols do not make their usage intuitive right from the get-go and, unfortunately, no text hints have been included to explain their purpose even after lengthy cursor movements over them.
Note!
Once extracted from an archive file, no installation process is necessary to run this program.
