Run a Full Computer Scan


A 'Full System Scan' scans every local drive, folder and file on your system. External devices such as USB drives, storage drives and digital cameras will also be scanned.

Run a Full Computer Scan
  • If the 'Tasks' interface is not open already, click the 'Tasks' button at top-left to open it
  • Click 'General Tasks' then select 'Scan' then 'Full Scan'
  • The scanner will start and first check whether your virus signature database is up-to-date
  • You can pause, resume or stop the scan by clicking the appropriate button. If you want to run the scan in the background, click 'Send to Background'
  • Any detected threats will be displayed in full at the end of the scan. The alert will tell you how many threats were found; the name and location of the threats and will provide you with the best virus removal options
  • If you click 'Yes, I want an expert to clean it', you will be connected to a GeekBuddy technician who will offer to expertly clean your system.
  • If you wish to clean the infections yourself, select 'No, I will clean it myself'.
