Scan for Infections

Systweak Antivirus for Windows provides three scan types, which you can use to scan your PC for malicious files, malware, viruses, spyware, and other nasty threats.

Scan for Infections

  • Quick Scan
  • Deep Scan
  • Custom Scan

Your chosen scan method will determine how Systweak Antivirus will do comprehensive scanning.

To run Quick Scan, launch Systweak Antivirus, click Scan Types present in the left pane, and click the Quick Scan button. Likewise, you can choose Deep Scan and Custom Scan.

Quick Scan

Quick Scan

This scan type checks for the threats in Memory and Startup objects, where threats commonly hide. A Quick Scan is faster than a Deep and Custom Scan but is less comprehensive. Areas included in Quick Scan include

  • System processes, drivers, operating system processes, and other apps.
  • Executable files and startup items.

Deep Scan

Deep Scan

As the name implies, this scan type is more thorough. We recommend running Deep Scan once a week or at least once in 15 days. It scans the following areas:

  • Memory is allocated by operating system processes, drivers, and other installed apps.
  • Executable files
  • Files stored on local disk drivers

Most importantly, it performs a heuristic analysis to detect and protect against threats that might have been left by Quick or Custom Scan.

Custom Scan

Deep Scan

It lets you choose what and where you want Systweak Antivirus for Windows to scan on your system. This scan type takes time, depending on the location to be scanned. You can use Quick Scan or run Deep Scan to avoid long wait times unless there is a specific location, drive, or scan.

To customize virus scanning using Systweak Antivirus, click Scan Types in the left pane > click the Custom Scan button > select the directory you want to scan, and click the SCAN NOW button.

Note - You can schedule scanning from here by clicking the Schedule option. To learn about the scanning process in detail, click here
