Description: The ‘Full Scan’ in antivirus software refers to a thorough scan of the entire system for malware, viruses, and other potential threats. This process involves reviewing all files, programs, and settings of the operating system to identify and remove any malicious software that could compromise the device’s security. Unlike a quick scan, which only checks critical areas of the system, the full scan examines every corner of the hard drive, which may take longer but offers more robust protection. Most antivirus solutions use advanced detection and heuristic technologies to identify suspicious behaviors and patterns associated with known malware. This scan not only helps keep the system clean but also provides peace of mind to the user, ensuring that their personal information and files are protected against cyber threats. Additionally, the full scan can be scheduled to run at specific times, allowing users to maintain their system’s security without interrupting their daily work.
