scan *.TIB archives for viruses
i have acronis 2018. using its bootable iso, i had created full-system-backups and password-protected them. now i suspect the presence of malware in those TIB files. how can i scan these TIB files for malware? do i need to extract them to scan? please explain in steps using simple language. thanks in advance to anyone helping me

When you mount a *.tib file it is read only - you will be able to find infections/malware but not delete them.

Keep in mind that malware can be tricky! Many types of malware only run under certain circumstances (such as when a specific user profile is logged into the system) and may not be detected. Scanning is better than nothing, but no guarantee that there aren't really dormant malware waiting to come alive if compromised files get restored, but did not show up in a scan when mounted.
