Note
Since the Deep System Scanand System Scantasks analyze the entire system,
the scanning may take a while. Therefore, we recommend you to run these tasks
on low priority or, better, when your system is idle.

A task called My Documents is provided. Use this task to scan important current
user folders: My Documents, Desktop and StartUp. This will ensure the safety
of your documents, a safe workspace and clean applications running at startup.

that precedes the task's name. For more information, please refer to “Configuring
