Windows Startup 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.

A Windows startup scan is a scan run during the booting of the Windows operating system. Thanks to this type of scan, it is possible to run a scan of any area of the computer as the first job after loading the operating system.

In the advanced mode, the Windows startup scan can be configured with two interesting options: the ability to add additional areas to be scanned when the computer starts, and the possibility to schedule the scan to be run only on determined occasions.

The scheduling of the Windows startup scan allows you to indicate if the mentioned scan should be run only when Windows starts after rebooting the computer or, on the contrary, if it should be run each time that Windows is started up (that is, at the beginning of each Windows session).

Since the Windows startup scan is run each time that the operating system is booted up, it is not convenient to scan very large areas.
