Chapter 11 McAfee Internet Security 51 Scheduling a scan Schedule scans to thoroughly check your computer for viruses and other threats any day and time of the week. Scheduled scans always check your entire computer using the default scan options. By default, VirusScan performs a scheduled scan once a week. If you find that you are experiencing slow scan speeds, consider disabling the option to use minimal computer resources, but keep in mind that higher priority will be given to virus protection than to other tasks. Schedule scans that thoroughly check your entire computer for viruses and other threats using your default scan options.
