How to perform a scheduled scan (Basic)

The scheduled scan area is accessed through the Scheduled option in the Go to menu. You can also access this area by using the Panda Antivirus 6.0 bar that shows the main options offered by the program to facilitate its use.

To perform a scheduled scan in the basic mode, follow these steps:

  1. Select the predetermined scan you wish. The name of the predetermined scan indicates both the areas it will scan and the frequency with which it will scan. You can ascertain what specific areas the predetermined scan you have selected scans by consulting the Items to be scanned area.

  2. Double-click on the predetermined scan you have selected in order to enable it. You can also right-click on the scheduled scan you wish to enable and choose the corresponding option.

If you want to perform an immediate scan based on the scheduled scan you have chosen, simply press the Scan button on the standard button bar.

If you wish to enable a scheduled scan which is different from any of the predetermined ones, or if you want to perform an immediate scan with options which are different from the default ones, you must be in the advanced mode.
