 Scan system environment - scanning will also check the system areas of

your computer;

infected will not be scanned. These can be for instance some plain text files,

or some other non-executable files.

Scan media files – check to scan media files (Video, Audio etc.). If you

leave this box unchecked, it will reduce the scanning time even more,

Scan process priority

Within the Scan process priority section you can further specify the desired scanning

speed dependent on system resource usage. By default, this option value is set to

the medium level of automatic resource usage. If you want the scanning to run faster,

it will take less time but system resources usage will increase significantly during the

scan, and will slow down your other activities on the PC (this option can be used

when your computer is switched on but nobody is currently working on it). On the

other hand, you can decrease system resources usage by extending the scanning

duration.
