SAM Virus Clinic scans the files on your volumes for the presence of known viruses and reports its findings in the Results Window window. It also reports 'irregularities' that exist in your files if you so desire.
If one of your files contains a known virus, SAM Virus Clinic can generally repair the file immediately.
