4.1.1.2.3 Scan profiles
Your preferred scan parameters can be saved for future scanning. We recommend that you create a different profile
(with various scan targets, scan methods and other parameters) for each regularly used scan.
To create a new profile, open the Advanced setup window (F5) and click Computer > Antivirus and antispyware >
On-demand computer scan > Profiles.... The Configuration profiles window includes the Selected profile drop-down
menu that lists existing scan profiles and the option to create a new one. To help you create a scan profile to fit your
needs, see the ThreatSense engine parameters setup section for a description of each parameter of the scan setup.
Example: Suppose that you want to create your own scan profile and the Smart scan configuration is partially
suitable, but you don’t want to scan runtime packers or potentially unsafe applications and you also want to apply
Strict cleaning. In the Configuration profiles window, click Add.... Enter the name of your new profile in the Profile
name field and select Smart scan from the Copy settings from profile drop-down menu. Adjust the remaining
parameters to meet your requirements and save your new profile.
4.1.1.3 Startup scan
By default the automatic startup file check will be performed on system startup and during virus signature database
updates. This scan is dependent upon the Scheduler configuration and tasks.
The startup scan options is part of a System startup file check scheduler task. To modify its settings, navigate to
Tools > Scheduler, click on Automatic startup file check and then Edit.... In the last step, the Automatic startup file
check window will appear (see the following chapter for more details).
For detailed instructions about Scheduler task creation and management, see Creating new tasks.
