Scan My Computer

When Virus and Spy Protection and the real-time scanning are enabled, your computer is protected. When you access any file, it is automatically scanned for viruses, spyware and other malware, and suspicious items.

If you suspect that your computer may contain malware or suspicious items, you can scan the computer manually

To start a manual scan:

  1. Go to the Virus and Spy Protection tab and click Scan my computer....
  2. Select one of the following options from the scan menu:
    • Scan target - scans a specific file or folder for malware and suspicious items.
    • Scan hard drives - scans all files in your hard drives for malware and suspicious items.
    • Quick spyware scan - scans your computer for installed (active) spyware. It does not scan all the folders and files on your computer, but only those that contain installed programs.
    • Quick rootkit scan - scans your computer for rootkits and other hidden and suspicious items.
    • Perform full computer check - scans the whole computer for viruses, spyware and rootkits.
  3. The Scan Wizard guides you through the scanning and cleaning process. For more information, see Using The Scan Wizard.
