After successful installation and update, we recommended
that you perform a complete computer scan for threats.
To do this, click Computer scan in the main ESET Smart
Security screen and select Standard scan. Scanning of all
local hard drives will start. As long as the scan continues,
the status window shows the progress bar as well as the
current statistics about scanned and infected files found.
If a threat is detected, ESET Smart Security quarantines the
file and displays an alert in the system tray area. You should
be able to continue working as normal while the scan takes
place.
