We are talking about 2 distinct function of one overall program.
1. The on-access scanner which should always be active.
It keeps you save during the normal operation of your computer.
2. The anti virus program itself. After the initial full scan, I run mine once a month as a precaution incase something slipped thru.
The full scan should be run in safe mode so that it has access to most of the files on your computer.
If it finds something, I would suggest that you quarantine it by putting it into the chest. That put's it out of harms way but, if needed, could always be reached.
I hope this help.
