The real-time detection ensures the strongest protection against viruses, spyware and other malware, and suspicious items automatically. It is recommended, however, that you scan your computer manually in the following cases:
It is highly recommended that once the installation is finished, you download the latest virus and spyware definition databases and perform the full computer check to ensure there are no viruses on your computer.
The product Start-up Wizard downloads latest virus and spyware definition databases and scans your computer automatically.
After you have removed the virus, you should scan all hard disks to ensure that your computer is clean of the virus.
In this case, you should get the latest virus and spyware definition databases and scan all hard disks on your computer to find possible viruses and spyware. Also, you should check the latest Security News for information on any new viruses that cannot be dealt with at the moment but require a future virus definition database update.
If you want to ensure there are no suspicious hidden files, hidden processes, hidden applications or hidden drives in your computer, scan the system manually for rootkits.
