Note
Since the Deep System Scan and Full System Scan tasks analyze the entire system,
the scanning may take a while. Therefore, we recommend you to run these tasks on
low priority or, better, when your system is idle.
■ User tasks - contains the user-defined tasks.
A task called My Documents is provided. Use this task to scan important current
user folders: My Documents, Desktop and StartUp. This will ensure the safety
of your documents, a safe workspace and clean applications running at startup.
■ Misc tasks - contains a list of miscellaneous scan tasks. These scan tasks refer to
alternative scanning types that cannot be run from this window. You can only modify
their settings or view the scan reports.
Three buttons are available to the right of each task:
■
Schedule - indicates that the selected task is scheduled for later. Click this button
to open the Properties window, Scheduler tab, where you can see the task schedule
and modify it.
■
Delete - removes the selected task.
