in this video I'm going to show you how
0:01
you can scan your computer using the
0:03
Avast free antivirus so if you have AAS
0:07
free antivirus installed on your
0:08
computer let me show you how you can
0:10
perform a quick scan and eliminate any
0:12
virus that might be on your computer so
0:15
once you have downloaded your antivirus
0:17
you can easily locate it from here or as
0:19
well you can access it when you go and
0:22
tap on this show hidden icons you can
0:24
see we have our antivirus here and you
0:27
can see there is a check mark which
0:29
means we are protected to do so just go
0:31
ahead and double click on the
0:34
antivirus and it will go ahead and open
0:37
so as you can see we are currently
0:38
protected but should you want to run a
0:40
scan just go ahead and tap on protection
0:43
here and then you'll see an option
0:46
called virus scan so go ahead and tap on
0:49
it and then tap on got it and then
0:52
choose whether you want to perform a
0:54
full scan or a targeted scan or boost
0:57
time scan so if you choose the full scan
1:00
it will go ahead and scan the whole PC
1:03
but if you choose a targeted scan it
1:05
will scan specific files or external
1:08
devices for instance if you have plugged
1:11
a device on your computer for instance
1:12
say a flash disc then you can use this
1:15
let me show you how you can do it
1:16
because I've plugged a device on my
1:18
computer if I tap on it it will go ahead
1:21
and look for devices that that are on my
1:24
computer and then I can choose from this
1:26
list for instance I want to scan this
1:28
USB drive and to select it just check
1:31
the box before it and then tap on okay
1:34
and it will go ahead and check for any
1:36
viruses that are available on this flash
1:40
or this drive and as you can see it is
1:44
it and it is clean there is no
1:48
malware you can hear the ping sound it
1:51
means that no malware was found and it
1:54
is good so once you're done just tap on
1:57
done alternatively if you want to go
1:59
ahead and scan the whole computer you
2:01
can now use this option called full scan
2:03
and then this will go ahead scan
2:05
everything on your computer including
2:07
all the drives both internal and
2:09
external and then give you the result
2:12
and now you can see the scan is on so
2:14
this will take quite a long time so I'll
2:16
not wait for it but essentially this
2:19
will go ahead and scan and then give us
2:21
the result as we did for the other drive
2:23
and should it find any problem you have
2:26
just to choose the option to resolve and
2:28
it will go ahead and eliminate any virus
2:30
that is on your computer so that's how
2:32
you perform scanning full scan or
2:35
specific scan on your computer using the
2:37
avast free antivirus if this video was
