Full scan v Smart scan

Will a Full system scan cover all the things a Smart scan does , or are they 2 separate types of scan , its just that i have raised a Tech support ticket as Smart scan sticks @ 43% on Network scan even after a reinstall ,but if the full scan covers all items then i will settle or just doing that .

Quickscan = same as above but only covers those area activly running malware is known to hide
