How to enable the resident scan (Basic)

The area pertaining to scanning by the file resident is accessed through the Resident option in the Go to menu. You can also access the area by using the Panda Antivirus bar.

To enable the file resident, check the Resident enabled option in the Resident status section. From that moment on, the file resident will monitor all the file-related operations which are performed in the computer, thus preventing it from being infected.

In the Resident section the report on the activity of the file resident is displayed. All the events which are related to the work of the resident will be progressively recorded in this file.

To complete this information, the Resident status section offers some additional data regarding the activity of the resident:

• Files checked: number of files the resident has scanned for viruses from the beginning of its activity (normally since the booting of the computer).

• Viruses found: number of viruses detected by the resident.

• Total scan time: total time taken by the resident in the scanning of files.
