12.2. Predefined Scans

One of the main features of AVG Internet Security 2012 is on-demand scanning. On-demand tests

are designed to scan various parts of your computer whenever suspicion about possible virus

infection arises. Anyway, it is strongly recommended that you carry out such tests regularly even if

you think that no virus can be found on your computer.

In the AVG Internet Security 2012 you will find the following types of scan predefined by the

software vendor:

12.2.1. Whole Computer Scan

Whole Computer scan - scans your entire computer for possible infections and/or potentially

unwanted programs. This test will scan all hard drives on your computer, will detect and heal any

virus found, or remove the detected infection to the Virus Vault. Scanning the whole of your computer

should be scheduled on a workstation at least once a week.

Scan launch

The Whole Computer scan can be launched directly from the scanning interface by clicking on the

scan's icon. No further specific settings have to be configured for this type of scan; the scan will

start immediately within the Scan is running dialog (see screenshot). The scan can be temporarily

interrupted (Pause) or canceled (Stop) if needed.
