Predetermined scans in a scheduled scan (Advanced)

Note: certain options are only available depending on the product purchased and the operating system configuration. For more information, see Differences between versions.

Predetermined scheduled scans offer the greatest ease in creating a quick and simple scan ôcalendarö.

A predetermined scan is a specific configuration of areas, frequencies and scan options. Predetermined scans are saved so that they can be reused as many times as needed, thus saving you an important amount of time and greatly simplifying your scanning jobs.

The program comes equipped with a series of predetermined scans. Among these predefined scans are the ones most frequently used when searching for viruses. If you wish to do a different scan, you will be able to save the specified scan configuration (areas, frequencies and scan options) to add a new predetermined scheduled scan to your list.

Adding a new predetermined scan. All you need to do is choose a set of scan areas and establish the scanning frequency and the desired options. When you have done this, press the Save button in the standard program bar. The software will ask you for a name for the new predetermined scan. Once you have given it a name, the new scan will be available in the list of predetermined scans.

Removing a predetermined scan. To remove a previously created predetermined scan, simply click on the scan to be removed with the right mouse button and choose the Remove created scan option. It is important to bear in mind that only those predetermined scans that the user has previously created can be removed; those included with the program cannot be removed.
