Spyware Scans

The Spyware Scan will deep scan your PC to locate dangerous and unwanted spyware programs.

At the top of the screen you’ll see a summary of your last scan including:

The date scanned

The number of items scanned

And the number of problems found

Spyware can exist on many locations on your PC and wreak all kinds of havoc. To perform a full system scan, check all the boxes below.
To check specific areas of your PC, check individual boxes.

To perform a new scan, check the options you’d like to scan:

Scan Program Files
Scan Windows System Files
Scan My Documents
Scan Desktop Files
Scan Temporary Files and Internet Cache
C:\ (Fixed Drive Partition)
D:\ (CD/DVD ROM Drive)

Choose the scans you’d like by checking the boxes next to the scan name. If you change your mind and decide not to perform one of the scans, just uncheck the box.

After you’ve made your selections, press the Scan Now button.

While scanning, notice that in the list of scans, some of the items have changed colors.

If an item is pink and has a check mark next to it, that means that scan is complete.

To Stop the scan at any point, simply press the Stop button.

After your scans are complete, your Scan Results will pop up in a separate window.
