12. I suggest you "Perform full scan" by selecting this option and click on the "Scan" button to start the scanning process : You only need to scan the C: drive.

 

 

Keep in mind a full scan will take anywhere from one to four hours and perhaps even longer depending on the speed of your computer but you may do other things when it is running. If you don't like it on your desktop simply minimize it to the taskbar but let it run the scan.

13. When the scan is complete there will be a box telling you whether or not there were infections found. If yes, see the illustration below.

 

This scan detected 3 infections. After pressing "OK" button it will show you the results.

To remove the detected infections, make sure that there is a checkmark to the left of each item in the list. Then click on the "Remove selected" button under the list.
