Create scheduled scans to ensure that VIPRE scans your computer regularly according to how often your computer is used. For example, if your computer is used every day, you should at least run a Quick Scan every day. We recommend that you schedule a Full Scan to run in the middle of the night, provided your computer is turned on at that time.

To create a scheduled scan:

1. Click MyVIPRE, then Schedule Scan.
2. Click + new scan. The New Scan dialog displays.
3. Enter a name for your scan.
4. Select one of the following:
   • A Quick Scan will scan commonly affected areas of your computer. This scan is usually shorter in duration than the Full Scan.
   • A Full Scan will thoroughly scan all areas of your computer. Depending on the amount of data on your hard drive, this could take longer.
   • If you click Custom Scan, you can choose what it focuses on. To read more about Custom Scans, see How to Customize Scheduled Scans.
5. Select a scan time. You can select the hours, minutes, or AM/PM.
   

   When adding a new scheduled scan, ensure that you do not turn off the "Wake from sleep on scheduled scans" in the power settings. This can affect automatic scans while a computer is in "sleep mode."

    
6. Select the days on which you wish to run the scan. You can select one or more days to be scanned. Deselect a day's box to remove it from the schedule.
7. Optionally, select Rapid Scan to pass over files that have been scanned before.
8. Click Done to save changes. The dialog closes and the scheduled scan displays on the.
