Scanning the computer

During the scan Kaspersky Security Cloud searches for infected files and malware. There are several types of scans that vary in their search duration and scope.

• Full Scan. Scans all areas of the computer. This scan requires a lot of time to complete.
• Quick Scan. Scans objects that are loaded when the operating system starts as well as system memory and boot files. This scan does not require a lot of time to complete.
• Selective Scan. Scans the selected file or folder.
• External Device Scan. This option scans external devices that are connected to the computer.
• Context Menu Scan. This option scans files from the context menu.
• Idle Scan. Background scan that is executed when the computer remains idle for five or more minutes.

• Vulnerability Scan. It scans the computer for vulnerabilities that malware could exploit to infect your system.

After you install Kaspersky Security Cloud, we recommend that you perform a full scan of your computer.
