11.2. Predefined Scans
One of the main features of
AVG Internet Security 2011
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 Internet Security 2011
you will find the following types of scanning
predefined by the software vendor:
11.2.1. Whole Computer Scan
Whole Computer scan
- 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.
Scan launch
The
Whole Computer scan
can be launched directly from the
scanning interface
by
