How do I perform a scan with Avira Antivirus?

Asked 5 months ago
To perform a scan with Avira Antivirus, one can start by opening the Avira Antivirus application on their device. Once the application is launched, the user will see the main interface, which typically displays various options for protection and scanning. To initiate a scan, the user should locate the "Scan" or "Scan Now" button on the dashboard. Avira provides different scanning options, including a quick scan, full scan, and custom scan. The quick scan focuses on the most common areas where malware may hide, while the full scan examines the entire system more thoroughly. The custom scan allows the user to select specific files or folders to scan. After selecting the desired scan type, the user can proceed by clicking the appropriate button. The scan will then begin, and the system will be analyzed for potential threats. Once the scan is completed, users will be presented with the results, detailing any detected issues and recommendations for actions to take. For further details, it is advisable to check Avira's official website for the most updated instructions and features.
