How often do you scan your PC?

hi murtuza i scan allmost never ;) i use avast anti vir. Home edition and it scans allmost all the new things you put on your computer ;) i love Avast xD

I scan my pc everyday with AVG antivirus my pc had never catch a trogan.If there is an incomin virus it will be block.

well I scan my pc regularly using zone alarm antivirus....it does detect viruses and helps keep my computer clean. Inspite of having zone alarm firewall most few viruses seem to bypass the security but of course get deleted when scanned.. So I do make it a point to scan my pc often

i do a virus scan everyday and a registry scan at least 3-4 days per week. i clean out my disks daily and i do a disk defragment at least once a month. i also have adaware for spyware and such which runs daily.

i always turned my firewall on of my pc to alert it from viruses .i am running avg antivirus its quite good for the viruses.when i surf the pages if they contain the viruse it always show me a block which tell about the virus before opening the page .if it is removed by AVG then i load the page otherwise i search for another page.i have never experience a chance when my pc got affected by viruses

Hai, I am using AVAST antivirus and I trust the same. Usually some pages will link to some viruses or the page may contain some infected files. So the avast antivirus scanner will automatically pick up those links or files and blocks for me. I wont be scanning my PC regularly because I trust my antivirus as it is doing the job very well.

Atleast once in a week.

I use AVG Antivirus which consistently comes out in the top three of any AV programs. No AV, as you point out, is 100% secure because new viruses are coming out every day but AVG claims to protect against more than 98% of them. Other protections I use are Zonealarm Firewall, Adaware, Spybot, Firefox browser and FreeDNS, all of which offer some protection and warning against dangerous websites and email attachments. In the past five years, I have never had a significant virus or trojan attack because I keep all of the above updated regularly and am well aware of the current threats and (usually) how to deal with them.

Because I work online, I set my anti virus to scan daily automatically. I also scan for malware and spyware a couple times a week. I also have a good firewall. It has just gotten to be a habit for me over the years. I did have a trojan slip by once, but it didn't do much damage thank goodness, so I became very diligent in updating and keeping things scanned on my computer! I think it is something that HAS to be done for all of us on line these days.

often I scan my computer daily as it should be. I know my antivirus also scan automatically but manually also i scan my whole pc daily.

I scan my PC every 7 days, my friend. I have good anti-virus in my PC, so i don't have to worry about viruses, spyware, adware and many others that affect my computer speed...How about you my friend?

i remember last time many virus and trojans, spyware and adware and malware pass through the scan of my antivirus, so no matter how many times i scan, the problems still there. so in the end i had to install anti-spyware and anti-malware softwares and eventually everything is cleared currently i scan once per week, but so far my computer is 99% clean of virus, trojans, spywares, adwares, malwares

I scan my computer with Avast, which is a free and good anti-virus. It offers additional features such as Instant Messaging, Network and Web shield. So far I haven't encountered any problems with this Anti-virus.

You are very right we affected by thousand of viruses came while we are browsing and if your scanner is not that good to get rid of them then your pc must go in some trouble. I had experiences many time the trouble of viruses from the web. Recently i downloaded i song from a site and when open it , it goes disappear and it did wat my chrome browser start not to respond any and since then it neither uninstalling nor it opening. I that time had use the free edition of Avg anti-virus. By that i mean that free edition are not that affective. THe are not so good and many time didn't rcognises the viruses andy many time had the wrong prdiction. Why we need to have a file in trusted state why? They always get wrong prediction .one of my .exe file it treat as malware. Why didn;t we have abetter antivirus

I get it confused My like to Scan whenever nessersary.

Scanning is time consuming and it affects the productivity. I only scan the computer when I find something is not right with my computer. Often, I will leave it on to scan while I am doing other chores example watching tv. lol..

I used to use Norton Anti-virus software and it let viruses on 2 occasions into my machine, so as you can imagine, that after paying for Norton, I wasn't too impressed. I then switched to Mcafee (about 5 years ago) and since then (touch wood) I have not had any virus problems. It is updating regularly every day, and automatically scans my machine completely once a week. It was worth paying the extra for. - Derek

I have my virus program set to do a full scan once every week, i also keep it updated all the time which it does automatically. But if my computer starts acting up i will run a full scan to see if anything is their.

My antivirus will auto to scan my system every week. And I will update antivirus everyday to keep my computer safe. Antivirus can kill most of the virus. I seldom go to the websites I don't know, that can let virus far from my computer. Now I have these habbits because I lost some very important documents before. Happy mylot!

everyday I scan my PC. I do this Because virus computer is growing so I must every update and scan it
