 Scanning the computer for viruses and vulnerabilities is one of the most important tasks in ensuring the computer's security. The virus scan detects the spreading of malicious code, which has not been detected by the malware protection for some reasons. Full scan is a thorough scan of the entire system. The following objects are scanned by default:

• system memory
• programs loaded on startup
• system backu
• email databases
• hard drives, removable storage media and network drives.

Full scan can be started in one of the following ways:

• from the main application window
• from the Computer Protection window
• using an existing shortcut for Full Scan
