How to perform an immediate scan (Basic)

The immediate scan area is accessed through the Immediate option offered by the Go to menu. You can also access this area by exiting the antivirus presentation pages which are displayed when the program is started up, or by using the Panda Antivirus bar, which shows the main options offered by the program to facilitate its use.

To perform an immediate scan in the basic mode, follow these steps:

  1. Select the predetermined scan you wish. The name of the predetermined scan indicates what areas it scans. You can ascertain what specific areas are scanned by the predetermined scan you have selected by consulting the Items to be scanned area.

  2. Press the Scan button to start the immediate scan. You can monitor its progress in a window that is displayed for that purpose.

If you wish to do an immediate scan which is different from the predetermined ones, or if you want to perform an immediate scan with options which are different from the default ones, you must be in the advanced mode.
