Demand Protection: Full Scan
policies. If this policy is Not Selected, no On-Demand Protection: Full Scan

A Selected value means that On-Demand Protection: Full Scan is enabled.
This policy must be set to Selected to enable On-Demand Protection: Full Scan

By default, every time Full Scan runs, it scans the following locations for
threats:
- the computer memory for installed rootkits, hidden processes, and other
behavior that suggests malware is attempting to hide itself. This scan occurs
before all other scans.
- the memory of all running processes.
- all drives and their subfolders on the computer.
By default, the scanner scans all file types, regardless of extension.
