How to disinfect an active infection
When an active infection has been detected, a message will appear with the text “Malware detected”. You can choose to disinfect the object either:
- with an advanced scan
- without an advanced scan
If you don’t select one of the options within 120 seconds, the object will automatically be disinfected with an advanced scan. If you need more than 120 seconds to decide, click The window will be closed after ... seconds.
Disinfection with an advanced scan

An advanced scan will check all disk volumes thoroughly. This could take some time.
Disinfection without an advanced scan
To scan your computer quickly, click Disinfect without an advanced scan.
