Scan the computer

You can scan the computer for threats. There are two types of scan:

• Quick scan
• Full scan

Quick scan

A quick scan gives you rapid results.

The scan checks the following areas of the computer:

• Memory.
• The Master Boot Record (MBR).
• Running processes, the associated applications, and the DLLs loaded into those processes.
• Files that will run the next time the computer starts.

To run a quick scan, do as follows:

1. Go to the Status page or the Detections page.

2. Click Scan and select Quick scan.

   When the scan is complete, you'll see a summary of the scan results.

3. If threats are detected, go to the Events page to see details.

Full scan

A full scan scans all files and folders on the computer. It includes memory and the Master Boot Record (MBR).

To run a full scan, do as follows:

1. Go to the Status page or the Detections page.

2. Click Scan and select Full scan.

   When the scan is complete, you'll see a summary of the scan results.

3. If threats are detected, go to the Events page to see details.
