Disclosed are a scanning method and device, and a client apparatus. The method comprises: when a specified scanning is started, enumerating at least one disk file in an area corresponding to the specified scanning; determining, according to the at least one disk file and at least one suspicious file obtained in a real-time protection process, a file scanning queue; and scanning the determined file scanning queue according to a virus scanning engine. The present invention redetermines a file scanning queue according to the suspicious file obtained in advance from the real-time protection process, so that the possible threats are scanned throughout, thus thoroughly removing the threats. With scanning method according to the present embodiment, the files can be thoroughly scanned, thus improving the capability of removing the threats and the efficiency of searching and removing the viruses, as compared with the prior art.
