Predefined scans are scan jobs that have been created beforehand. These scan jobs can be either on-demand or scheduled. This type of scan will make things easier, as it allows you to check more items with just a click.
Follow these steps to carry out a predefined scan:
1. Select the Full Scan option from the Control Panel in the program window.
2. Two sections are available: On-demand scans (the Scan other items section will be included here) and Scheduled scans.
3. Each of these options include predefined scans:
· On-demand scans: Scan all system, Scan hard disks, Scan my documents, Scan all e-mail and Scan floppy disk drive.
· Scheduled scans: Scan at startup –only available in Windows 98/95 systems-, Scan on starting Windows and Start at Outlook startup.
4. Select a predefined scan: (scan all My computer, scan e-mail, scan floppy disks, scan at startup or scan on starting Windows).
5. Click on the Scan option in the Scan jobs panel. You can also right-click on any of them and then select the Scan option, or press the function key F8.
