Manual Scan allows you to quickly check for threats in files,
folders, and drives on the fly from Windows Explorer.
Schedule scan
Scheduled scans thoroughly check your computer for viruses and
other threats any day and time of the week. Scheduled scans
always check your entire computer using your default scan
options. By default, VirusScan performs a scheduled scan once a
week. If you find that you are experiencing slow scan speeds,
consider disabling the option to use minimal computer
resources, but keep in mind that higher priority will be given to
virus protection than to other tasks. To learn more, see
