Scanning Your System

The purpose of a scan is to remove any traces of infection or other potentially unwanted files from your system.

STOPzilla enables you to scan for infections manually, whenever you wish, or automatically, on a schedule that you define. STOPzilla also enables you to define the depth of the scan. You can perform a Quick Scan, Intelligent Scan, Custom Scan or Full Scan. For more information on scan types, please see: Types of Scans.
