Run a Scan

First, choose the type of scan you want to run.

Quick Scan: Click Scan.
Full Scan: Click the arrow next to Scan, and then select Full Scan.

Monitor the Scan's Progress

Both types of scans show a scan progress bar and the number of files checked. At any time, you can pause, stop, or resume the scan.
