Optimize a Computer: Scan Software With AVG Anti-Virus Program

Video Transcript

"The other phase of what will go on in this process is that before a virus program is continued it has to scan your computer and Beacon said there is nothing going on there. Now see while this program is working here again you get another window down here saying check your antivirus software status and the reason that came up is because it says that this virus is out of date. Well surely because we haven't updated anything. But it now has successfully been installed. By the way you can put this window down and you have been congratulated and you just say next. Here is this window right here that says update and you say check for updates and just click that and they want to know where to get them from and you're going to click internet. Now they're going to come up with various updates and you are going to say update whatever is a priority to have and so this is what it looks like and basically you will see the screen mostly when you start the computer. The antivirus program has got to go out there and look and it is going to automatically download whatever virus definition files it needs to to be up to date and it will alert you with a window when it is finished. Here is where the ad comes in here they say would you, now this other window has just popped up and you can see and I'm going to do this other window first since it just popped over our window. It is actually logging in on how many things that have updated and now finally here is a window that says it is done successfully. It says you can click o'kay or you can wait for how many seconds it is and it will automatically take that off. Now we are back to this advertising run where it says would you like to update it now and we really don't because we just did the updates so we just say next. Here is the default so use the default low priority because that will make the antivirus program take up less resources. Here again you can say at this particular point in time and you say scan the computer and walla it is going to look through the whole computer and it tells you what the threats are and it will recommend to you what to do if it finds something and this is standard antivirus protocol and you want to let that go through its whole cycle and to assess that this computer is completely protected. If it finds something it will give you another window that tells you where you can take it to isolate the virus in the vault or which level threat it is."
