During a full scan, the application scans the following objects by default:

  • System memory
  • Objects loaded on operating system startup;
  • System backup storage;
  • Hard drives and removable drives.

We recommend running a full scan immediately after installing the application to your computer.

To run a Full Scan:

  1. Open the main window of the application and go to the Security section.
  2. In the Scan block, click the Choose scan button.

    This opens the Scan window.

  3. In the Scan window select the Full Scan section.
  4. In the drop-down list next to the Run scan button, select the action to perform when the scan is complete.
  5. Click Run scan.

The application starts a full scan of your computer.
