Re Free Version, the scan history shows “quick” scans and “viruses and malware” scans. what is the difference and how to I control which scan is conducted? In the settings, I see options for “quick” and “full system” but not “viruses and malware”. Thanks.

Hi,

Viruses & Malware is the test performed during Smart Scan.

Yes, but why are some scans Quick and others Viruses & Malware? I can schedule Quick and Full scans but do not see any options to schedule Virus & Malware scan?
