How do I customize my scan settings in Avira Antivirus?

Asked 5 months ago
Customizing scan settings in Avira Antivirus allows users to tailor their antivirus scanning experience to meet their specific needs. To modify these settings, the user generally starts by opening the Avira user interface, which is usually found in the taskbar or through the Start menu. Once the interface is open, navigating to the section labeled "Scan" or "Scan Settings" is the next step. This section typically contains various options that allow users to choose between different types of scans, such as Quick Scan, Full System Scan, or Custom Scan. For a Custom Scan, users can select specific files, folders, or drives to be scanned, granting flexibility in targeting potential threats. Additionally, users may adjust the frequency of scheduled scans, enabling them to set how often they desire automatic scans to occur. Another important option often available is the configuration of the scan's intensity, which can be adjusted to balance between system performance and the depth of the scan. After making the desired adjustments, it is crucial for users to save the new settings to ensure they take effect. Users may also want to review any additional preferences related to notifications or quarantine actions based on their comfort level with the software. For the most accurate details regarding the customization options, visiting the latest Avira support page may provide the latest features and guidelines.
