this very schedule by the program vendor. For newly added schedules (you can add a new schedule
by right-clicking over the Scheduled scan item in the left navigation tree) you can specify your own
name, and in that case the text field will open for editing. Try to always use brief, descriptive, and apt
names for scans to make it easier to later differentiate the scan from others.
Example: It is not appropriate to call the scan by the name "New scan" or "My scan" since these
names do not refer to what the scan actually checks. On the other hand, an example of a good
descriptive name would be "System area scan" etc. It is also not necessary to specify in the scan's
name whether it is the scan of the whole computer or just a scan of selected files or folders - your
own scans will always be a specific version of the scan of selected files or folders.
