Hi masters2115
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
Of course you can. All you need to do is to click on the 'Scan my Computer' button in the main app panel to initiate a full scan of your system.
 
EDIT: if you are concerned about the little time a scan takes then please see this KB Article & this previous thread for more information on the topic.
 
Regards, Baldrick

Well WSA in fact has four different types of scan, Quick, Full, Deep and Custom. The Deep scan is the recommended default scan and is all you normally need as explained by the links in Baldrick's post.
 
The User Guide explains here how you can create custom scans should you wish.
