What the differents between Standard scan and Thorought scan.
Which scan should I be using on my Home edition or it doesn’t matter, please advise me for more information.
"Standard Scan. Only the possibly dangerous files are scanned, according to their content. The file extension is ignored. Again, only the viruses corresponding to the particular file type are searched for.
Thorough Scan. All files are tested, against all viruses. "
