12.2. Predefined Scans
One of the main features of
AVG 9 Internet Security
is on-demand scanning. On-
demand tests are designed to scan various parts of your computer whenever suspicion
of possible virus infection arises. Anyway, it is strongly recommended to carry out
such tests regularly even if you think that no virus can be found on your computer.
In the
AVG 9 Internet Security
you will find two types of scanning predefined by the
software vendor:
12.2.1. Scan Whole Computer
Scan whole computer
- scans your entire computer for possible infections and/or
potentially unwanted programs. This test will scan all hard drives of your computer, will
detect and heal any virus found, or remove the detected infection to the
Virus Vault
.
Scanning of the whole of your computer should be scheduled on a workstation at least
once a week.

The
Scan of a whole computer
can be launched directly from the
