Setting regular scans

Use automatic scans to ensure that your computer is regularly scanned for viruses.

To set up automatic scanning, select the files and folders that you would like scanned, then set the date and time for the scanning. Scans will then occur even if you are not logged into your computer. However, if your computer is turned off, the scheduled scan is skipped.

To set regular scans

Select Schedule Scan.
Select the Enable Scheduled Scan check box to enable Anti-Virus schedule or clear the check box to disable the setting.
Note: If this feature is not enabled, the scheduled scan will not occur.
Under Items to Scan, select the check boxes of the drives, folders, or files that you want to scan. To ensure hidden folders and files are scanned, select the drive.
In the Start time box, select or type the hour and minutes.
Select or type a number for how often you want scanning done.
Select the days of the week that you would like the scan to occur.
Select how you would like Anti-Virus to handle a virus: Disinfect, Delete, or Report only.
Click OK.
