Scan areas in an immediate scan (Basic)

The purpose of the immediate scan is to check one or more parts of the computer in search of viruses.

To perform an immediate scan in the basic mode, just choose one of the predetermined scans which come with the program and press the Scan button.

There is an area called Items to be scanned in the immediate scan window which enables you to see which areas are going to be scanned in search of viruses. Each one of the predetermined scans which come with the program scans different areas of the computer. When you choose a predetermined scan, you can see the associated scanning areas in the Items to be scanned area. It is important to bear in mind that you will not be able to modify these areas when you are working in the basic mode.
