11.2. Predefined Scans
One of the main features of AVG 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 8.5 File Server you will find two types of scanning predefined by the
software vendor:
11.2.1. 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.
Scan launch
The Scan of a whole computer can be launched directly from the
scanning interface
by clicking on the scan's icon. No further specific settings have to be configured for
this type of scan, the scanning will start immediately within the Scan is running
dialog (see screenshot). The scanning can be temporarily interrupted (Pause) or
canceled (Cancel) if needed.
