Predetermined scans in an immediate scan (Advanced)

Note: certain options are only available depending on the product purchased and the operating system configuration. For more information, see Differences between versions.

Predetermined scans offer the greatest ease in performing fast, simple scans.

A predetermined scan is a specific configuration of areas to be scanned and scan options. Predetermined scans are saved so that they can be reused as many times as needed, thus saving you an important amount of time and greatly simplifying your scan jobs.

The program comes equipped with a series of ready-configured predetermined scans. Among these already defined scans are the ones most frequently used when searching for viruses. If you wish to perform a different scan, you will be able to save the specified scan configuration (areas and scan options) to add a new predetermined scan to your list.

Adding a new predetermined scan. All you need to do is choose a set of areas to be scanned and establish the desired options. When you have done this, press the Save button in the standard program bar. The software will ask you for a name for the new predetermined scan. Once you have given it a name, the new scan will be available in the list of predetermined scans.

Removing a predetermined scan. To eliminate a previously created predetermined scan, simply right-click on the scan to be removed and choose the Remove created scan option. It must be borne in mind that only those predetermined scans that the user has created previously can be eliminated; those included with the program cannot be removed.

If you are going to scan the same areas on a regular basis, we recommend that you create a series of predetermined scans which will make the process much simpler and will avoid errors.
