    Do you mean "Quick Scan" or "Idle Scan"?


    Quick Scan is set with a Schedule in the GUI.


    Idle scan will run when it needs to and has the space to do so - ie when the computer is using few resources or it is idle for a long time. I only see an idle scan about once a week at the most. Your computer is still being protected with the Web and File Shields of course.

    Hello Sumner and welcome to the Bitdefender forums.


    Bitdefender Quick Scan can run either automatically if scheduled under Antivirus panel -> Scan now -> Manage Scans -> Quick Scan -> Schedule.


    Or you can run it manually by going to Antivirus -> Scan Now -> selecting Quick Scan in the drop-down menu.


    Feel free to post back if you have other questions or concerns.
