How To Turn Off Automatic Antivirus Scan

Options

Hello forum helpers.


I am using BD Internet Security 2012 and always like to start both QUICK SCAN and FULL SYSTEM SCAN manually.


Is there a way to do this?


Do you know how often automatic Antivirus Scan is in progress?


Thanks.

    Hello :)


    Welcome back.


    Those scans are found in the main window under Scan now (the Antivirus module).


    The Auto Scan is working permanently on your PC, a full cycle depends on the amount of data stored on the HDD.


    Let me know if you have other questions.


    Take care.

  • Thanks Christian, for your kind answer.


    You say that AUTO SCAN is working permanently on my PC.


    Could I turn this off then, since I do the scans manually?


    Also I was wondering how often BD do a Full Scan?


    Thanks for your kind help.

    Hello :)


    Yes, you can turn off the module, but you will see an orange warning in the product.


    We recommend you to run a Full System scan at the end of each month if you run off that module.


    Take care.

  • Thanks Christian, for your kind answer.


    I will do as you say.


    Thanks.
