How to run a Full Scan

During a full scan, Kaspersky Free scans the following objects by default:

  • System memory
  • Objects loaded on operating system startup;
  • System backup storage;
  • Hard drives and removable drives.

We recommend running a full scan immediately after installing Kaspersky Free to your computer.

To run a Full Scan:

  1. Open the main window of Kaspersky Free and go to the Security section.
  2. In the Scan section, click the Choose scan button.

    The Scan window opens.

  3. In the Scan window, select the Full Scan section.
  4. In the drop-down list next to the Scan now button, select the action to perform when the scan is complete.
  5. Click the Run scan button.

Kaspersky Free starts a full scan of your computer.
