Smart Scan
« on: January 31, 2017, 01:23:42 PM »
The Smart Scan only takes a few minutes, whereas a full scan takes about an hour.

Is the Smart scan a good enough indication that I have no infections ?

smart scan / quick scan covers areas where activly running malware would be

a full scan will also scan areas where you store files (dormant none running)
