Full System Scan
Scans the entire system, except for archives. In the default configuration, it
scans for all types of malware other than rootkits.
Quick Scan
Quick Scan uses in-the-cloud scanning to detect malware running in your system.
Running a Quick Scan usually takes less than a minute and uses a fraction of
the system resources needed by a regular virus scan.
Deep System Scan
Scans the entire system. In the default configuration, it scans for all types of
malware threatening your system's security, such as viruses, spyware, adware,
rootkits and others.
Before you initiate a scanning process, you should make sure that Acronis Internet
Security is up to date with its malware signatures. Scanning your computer using
an outdated signature database may prevent Acronis Internet Security from detecting
new malware found since the last update.
In order for Acronis Internet Security to make a complete scanning, you need to
shut down all open programs. Especially your email-client (i.e. Outlook, Outlook
Express or Eudora) is important to shut down.
Scanning Tips
Here are some more scanning tips you may find useful:
● Depending on the size of your hard disk, running a comprehensive scan of your
computer (such as Deep System Scan or System Scan) may take a while (up to
an hour or even more). Therefore, you should run such scans when you do not
need to use your computer for a longer time (for example, during the night).
You can schedule the scan to start when convenient. Make sure you leave your
computer running. With Windows Vista, make sure your computer is not in sleep
mode when the task is scheduled to run.
● If you frequently download files from the Internet to a specific folder, create a
new scan task and set that folder as scan target. Schedule the task to run every
day or more often.
● There is a kind of malware which sets itself to be executed at system startup by
changing Windows settings. To protect your computer against such malware, you
can schedule the Auto-logon Scan task to run at system startup. Please note
that autologon scanning may affect system performance for a short time after
startup.
