Schedule a scan
Schedule scans to thoroughly check your computer for viruses
and other threats any day and time of the week. Scheduled scans
always check your entire computer using the default scan
options. By default, VirusScan performs a scheduled scan once a
week. If you find that you are experiencing slow scan speeds,
consider disabling the option to use minimal computer
resources, but keep in mind that higher priority will be given to
virus protection than to other tasks.
