Scan Your Computer - Part I
Introduction
This tutorial explains how to scan your computer and interpret the results.
Why scan your computer?
Trend Micro security software can keep your computer protected in "real-time," so you do not need to start a scan to remove malicious software. However, if your computer performs poorly due to a possible infection, you can still run a scan at any time.
You can choose from three types of scans:
|
Scan Type |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Quick Scan |
Scans only the places where threats commonly hide. |
|
Full Scan |
Scans the entire computer and external drives, but not network drives. |
|
Custom Scan |
Scans everything in the folders that you select. |
Which scan is best?
All scans check for the same types of threats, like viruses and spyware. Use Quick Scan if you have recently run a Full Scan. Although it takes longer, run a Full Scan if you have time.
