Scanning and Reports
On-demand Scanning
One of the main features of AVG Anti-Spyware is on-demand scanning. On-demand scans are designed to scan various parts of your computer whenever suspicion of possible malware infection arises. It is strongly recommended that you carry out such scans regularly, even if you think that no malware is present on your computer. The recommended period for complete system scanning is approximately once a week.
Click on the main menu icon Scanner, then select the Scan tab.
The following scans are available by default:
- Complete System Scan: Scans all hard drives of the computer and also scans the memory and the Windows registry.
- Fast System Scan: Scans the most vulnerable parts of your system such as the memory, windows registry, windows directory, and the cookie folder.
- Registry Scan: Scans the windows registry.
- Memory Scan: Scans the memory for active threats.
- Custom Scan: Create a customized scan profile. These customized scans can be configured to scan selected areas of your computer and can also be scheduled for regular scanning. Other predefined scans cannot be scheduled.
