Scan types (Full Scan)

 

Platinum Internet Security allows you to carry out different types of scan, specify which items should be scanned in each one, create customized scans and specify the characteristics of each one.

 

Platinum Internet Security displays a tree containing all of the possible scan types and the items that can be scanned. This tree consists of two sections or scan types or jobs, which can be accessed through the Full Scan section in the Control panel.

 

·      On-demand scans. These scans are carried out as soon as their characteristics are defined, or when indicated to start, once they have been created. This means that they do not automatically start at a specified time.

·      Scheduled scans. These scans automatically start at a certain pre-established time or with a certain frequency, depending on the characteristics specified when they were created.

 

Platinum Internet Security also carries out other types of scan that keep you protected at all times: Automatic Protection

 

It is also possible to carry out an on-demand scan of any item (file, directory, disk drive, etc) that can be accessed from Windows Explorer. In order to do this, select the items and right-click on them. The option Scan with Panda Platinum Internet Security is displayed, by selecting this option the selected items will be scanned.
