Just out of curiosity. I run a scan every Friday on my notebook, which seems to be enough, since I very rarely download stuff, but the computers at work are set to run a scan automatically every day.
That's how my software is, and the virus scan hasn't turned up anything for weeks on end, so I wondered if I were being overcautious. I use German software that consistently comes out on top in tests published by German PC magazines. Our school uses an internationally known program, and despite daily scans, the system sometimes gets infected, usually with adware. However, the students visit sites, and download stuff, that I wouldn't have any reason to go near.Originally Posted by valanhb
Our software does such a good job to actively monitor EVERYTHING on our computers that we don't worry about it too much. That said, it is still set to run weekly.
