windows file protection

[Steven Wabik]

first of all, how do i run windows file protection manually so that i don't
have to wait for it to pop up on its own?

Hi Steven,

To your first question, WFP is always running in the background to
protect files.

no dah, but it only will run into certian files when you open them or
whatever. thats why i was asking for the command for it.
some guy from microsoft once gave me a command for it to run it has a
foreground process so that it will scan everything instead of just scanning
certian files durring installations. i forgot what the run command was, so
thats why i'm asking for it.

Are you thinking of sfc /scannow?
