Computer startup scan (Basic)

A startup scan is a scan that is carried out when the computer is booted. The advantage of this type of scan is that it allows the user to scan the most important files on the hard drive as well as in memory and the boot sector before the computer finishes the booting process. In this way any possible virus is detected at the earliest possible occasion.

Note: you cannot choose to automatically carry out a Startup Scan in the Windows NT antivirus version.

The startup scan therefore provides protection right from the time the computer is booted.

In basic mode you can specify whether or not you want to run this scan at computer startup. Information is also available on the areas that will be scanned when this option is selected.
