Go to <strong>Antivirus</strong> > Virus Scan. To run a system or user-defined scan task, click<br />
the corresponding Run Task button.<br />
These are the default tasks you can use to scan your computer:<br />
Full System Scan<br />
Scans the entire system, except for archives. In the default configuration, it<br />
scans for all types of malware other than rootkits.<br />
Quick Scan<br />
Quick Scan uses in-the-cloud scanning to detect malware running in your system.<br />
Running a Quick Scan usually takes less than a minute and uses a fraction of<br />
the system resources needed by a regular virus scan.<br />
Deep System Scan<br />
Scans the entire system. In the default configuration, it scans for all types of<br />
malware threatening your system's security, such as viruses, spyware, adware,<br />
rootkits and others.<br />
Before you initiate a scanning process, you should make sure that BitDefender is<br />
up to date with its malware signatures. Scanning your computer using an outdated<br />
signature database may prevent BitDefender from detecting new malware found<br />
since the last update.<br />
In order for BitDefender to make a complete scanning, you need to shut down all<br />
open programs. Especially your email-client (i.e. Outlook, Outlook Express or Eudora)<br />
is important to shut down.<br />
Scanning Tips<br />
Here are some more scanning tips you may find useful:<br />
● Depending on the size of your hard disk, running a comprehensive scan of your<br />
computer (such as Deep System Scan or System Scan) may take a while (up to<br />
an hour or even more). Therefore, you should run such scans when you do not<br />
need to use your computer for a longer time (for example, during the night).<br />
You can schedule the scan to start when convenient. Make sure you leave your<br />
computer running. With Windows Vista, make sure your computer is not in sleep<br />
mode when the task is scheduled to run.<br />
● If you frequently download files from the Internet to a specific folder, create a<br />
new scan task and set that folder as scan target. Schedule the task to run every<br />
day or more often.<br />
● There is a kind of malware which sets itself to be executed at system startup by<br />
changing Windows settings. To protect your computer against such malware, you<br />
can schedule the Auto-logon Scan task to run at system startup. Please note<br />
