Immediate scan (Advanced)

Note: certain options are only available depending on the product purchased and the operating system configuration. For more information, see Differences between versions.

Immediate scans are a fundamental part of Panda Antivirus 6.0 Platinum. These permit you to scan any area of the computer (memory, hard drive, floppy drives, network drives, etc.) at any given time.

To scan even more quickly and easily, you can select one or several areas in the items to be scanned section, then click on the Scan button to start an immediate scan of the selected areas.

In the advanced mode, immediate scans can be totally configured. Areas and scan options are user selectable. In keeping with the Panda Antivirus 6.0 Platinum motto of maximum security with minimum complexity of use, a series of predetermined scans are available in advanced mode immediate scans which facilitate the scanning process.

The configuration possibilities, as well as the capacity to create new predetermined scans that will be available both in the advanced and basic modes, are the strengths of the advanced mode. These newly-created predetermined scans are saved and available to be used until removed by the user.
