Do you scan your computer weekly?

Well, you don't really have to do that weekly actually. It depends on your activity with computer also. If you often install new program/software, then tuneup utility should be used more often also. It can be used to fix some registry error, link error, etc. As well as antivirus, antispyware, and other anti-things. If you often surfed the net, often open external storage like Flash Disk, often visit unknown page from the net, and often install software that not digitally signed then doing virus and spyware scan regularly is a must. Other than that? well, you don't really need it :) I only use tuneup utility when I feel my computer are responding very slow than usual. And I'm only scan using antivirus and antispyware when I feel something wrong with my system (memory rise to 100%, internet speed getting slow, browser act suspiciously, etc). Regards~

I do mine about every week just to be safe. I scan for spyware and viruses.

Hi there, So do I. I always scan it weekly. You can setup the antivirus software to scan your computer weekly automatically. It's so convenient, isn't it?

hi umer85222 yes i also scan my computer very often there are so many websites and banners that pop up you really dont know whats good and whats bad, so its defiantly a good thing to due at least once a week if not everyday.

I scan my work computer a couple of times a week; my laptop, I scan most days. I've increased the frequency of scanning (and actually bothered to download updates!) since I started posting on MyLot, due to trojan attacks. But I've not had all that many of late. I think internet security is going to be a major concern in the 21st century (though it is already!); I'm not looking forward to shelling out $1000s to Norton or whoever.

I'm doing scan virus on a monthly basis coz it's take long time to do it with several files to be scan. Complete scanning of my pc would take almost a day to be completed. Anyway, I have an updated antivirus that would catch incoming computer viruses.

Good day umer5222, Well for me I am using ESET Smart Security 4, and my PC is schedule to be scanned for viruses every Friday at around 5:00 PM. And I think it is important to regularly check our computers for viruses cause everyday and every hour there are lot viruses that occurs.

I would like to scan my computer once a week. There are a lot of virus so i need pretect my computer.

I do it almost daily, because with all these earn-online sites, there is a lot of traffic going through my computer and I never trust all the sites that I surf, so as much as I hate to do it on a daily basis, I usually scan my computer as soon as I turn it on

i run them weekly usually on a weekend night

Well, for me, I usually scan my computer 2 to 3 times per week. I always see to it that my anti virus is updated and working at its best. I don't want to end up regretting and losing my important files in just a jiff glint due to a virus. That would really suck!

I sacn my computer DAILY. I use avast! Free and AVG Free TOGETHER(yes it works) and they both scan constantly.
