Hello,
I'm just wondering what type of scan the "Scheduled Scan" is? Does it do a Deep Scan or A Quick Scan? Does it only scan C: or does it scan all the drives?
Thanx for your time,

Scheduled Scan Type Of Scan?

Hello xtreme469 and Welcome to the Webroot Community Forums!
WSA is a smart scanner and the default Deep Scan takes 2 minutes or less in my case 35 to 40 seconds it scans the running processes in memory and checks the areas where malware will most likely hide but WSA's strength is when something executes and is running the Webroot Intelligence Network will tell the Client if it's good or bad or unknown and if unknown starts to journal everything the file is doing and when the Cloud tells the Client it's good it stops journaling but if marked bad it will clean up and revert back to the pre-infection state. You can watch this small video on what happens if WSA misses something: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/What-Happens-if-Webroot-quot-Misses-quot-a-Virus/ta-p/33374#.UwasVYXDtdU if you have more questions feel free to ask. Also here is another different look at the Webroot Intelligence Network.

Hi xtreme469
Welcome to the Community Forums...:D
The scheduled Scan is by default a Deep Scan, but you can, via Advanced Settings (click on button so marked in the top right hand corner of the main panel, then select the 'Scheduer' tab, followed by the 'Scan Scheduke' tab...it is the last tick box in the list...if memory serves), change that to a Quick Scan, if you prefer. But given how quick even the Deep Scan is my recommendation is stay with the default.
Let us know if you have any further or follow up questions

Thanx for the info. I just wanted to make sure that it didn't scan all drives.
Also Thanx for the exuberant welcome. I'm a very new user of SecureAnywhere. So far I'm very impressed.

+56Your very Welcome also when I move something from C drive to D drive it will get scanned in realtime and you can always Right Click on the WSA Icon in the tray by the clock and Save a Scan Log and see for yourself.
