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.

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