System Scan

This is the main on-demand scanner. It is used to scan a complete system for active malware. For scanning just a few selected files, should the File Scan be used instead, which can be found in the list of associated tasks at the left of the main window, inside the Start Center, or by right-clicking any file in Windows Explorer, in case that integration has been installed during installation.
