Scans a particular file,

removable drives, any of your

computer's drives, or any folders

or files on your computer.

You can create a custom scan if

you regularly scan a particular

location of your computer.

Norton AntiVirus lets you scan

this location frequently without

having to specify it every time.

You can also schedule the

custom scan to run

automatically.

Custom Scan

Computer Scan provides details about the scanned

items. You can view the details such as total number

of files scanned, security risks detected, security risks

resolved, and the total items that require attention. It

also provides you the different ways to resolve any

items that were not automatically resolved during the

scan. You can also view the severity of the risk, the

name of the risk, and the status of the risk about the

resolved items.

Running a Full System Scan

Full System Scan performs a deep scan of the system

to remove viruses and other security threats. It checks

all boot records, files, and running processes to which

the user has access. Consequently, when you run a Full

System Scan with administrator privileges, it scans

more files than when you run it without administrator

privileges.

You can also minimize and run a Full System Scan in

the background.

To run a Full System Scan

In the Norton AntiVirus main window, click Scan

Now.
