13.2.Predefined Scans

One of the main features of AVG is on-demand scanning. On-demand tests are

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

infection arises. Anyway, it is strongly recommended to carry out such tests regularly

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

In the AVG 8.5 Internet Security you will find two types of scanning predefined by

the software vendor:

13.2.1.Scan Whole Computer

Scan whole computer - scans your entire computer for possible infections and/or

potentially unwanted programs. This test will scan all hard drives of your computer, will

detect and heal any virus found, or remove the detected infection to the Virus Vault.

Scanning of the whole of your computer should be scheduled on a workstation at least

once a week.

Scan launch

The Scan of a whole computer 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 scanning will start immediately within the Scan is running dialog

(see screenshot). The scanning can be temporarily interrupted (Pause) or canceled (

Cancel) if needed.
