How often do you scan you computer for viruses?

It depends upon exposer of the system to internet and to other media. Moreover installed antivirus takes care of. Usually I do it weekly.

I do it twice a week, but updates anti-virus everyday. :p

Hello I have made my anti virus program to scam my laptop daily at schedule time and i think its best to scan the system or laptop daily. Cheers

for me i only scan thrice a month.. cause im not into downloading and i don't put any flash drive on my computer so i don't have to worry for worms and other virus..

I scan my computer once every three weeks..I use Avira AntiVir and Smart Virus Remover..But if I notice that the computer is acting strange and getting slow, I perform a virus scan immediately..Haven't been infected with virus recently though..Most of the problems I encounter are just Registry and Defragmentation problems in which I use TuneUp Utilities to fix them..

Every week

since i always stay online, i usually update and scan my laptop once in two days. I am afraid of being infected by any viruses so i make it safe by doing that. nice post joe.

i dont scan manually if qa virus is about to hit or something contains a virus norton will popup so no need for scanning for me

I am using Avira antivirus. I scheduled my anti virus to scan daily at 3am in the morning when I am asleep. By the time its finished, my computer would be virus free for the whole day until I do something cooky with my laptop again..haha

I do scan our computer everyday to make sure that it is free from any virus. Also I always scan first whenever we use USB just to make saure again that it won't affect our computer.

I do scan everyday. My virus scanner only have an option either every 4 hours or 24 hours. It will help specially if you are browsing the internet daily, then just have it updated daily too.

my avg antivirus scans my notebook through the night cuz' my internet is always on......big chance of that freakin' viruses to enter my windows...haha !

I have it to scan automatically every day. I use Microsoft security essentials which I heard a pretty good antivirus. I also use Malware bytes antimalware and Spybot search and destroy. Computer safety is a pretty important thing to me and that is why I scan my computer for viruses a lot.

Run a full scan during the first installation of your operating system. Next, intruding viruses are always monitored by your anti-virus program. So don even bother for viruses.. Stay protected!! Use "Avast" anti-virus software for best results..

To be honest... I only scan my computer for viruses when I suspect there is a possibility of a virus, I mean when the PC gets slow or some strange behavior occurs, I know I have to do regularly, but the scan takes a lot of time and I don't like that. I have a good protection pack in my computer and I didn't have any virus for so much time.

I think that the computer that I use is set up to automatically scan for viruses every day... I think this is a little extreme, haha, but it's what my brothers choose.

I scan my computer every night while I sleep, with 3 different antivirus programs. I use Malwarebytes, ExterminateIt, and AVG. I do this because I do a lot of surfing on sites that may not be so upbeat in purpose, and my computer is often infected with some form of Malware. These nightly scans keep my computer running in tip top shape and eliminate the malware before it has any chance of disrupting my use of the machine.
