The wave of mega popularity of the Internet has covered all PC users for a long time and irrevocably. And, the more often and longer you surf the Internet and use your e-mail, the more likely you are to "pick up" some malicious program. Protect your computer from uninvited guests with a reliable antivirus. And in order to be firmly confident in the cleanliness and security of your PC, check it from time to time using an online scanner. Here's how to do it.
Necessary
You will need internet access and the Panda ActiveScan 2.0 online scanner. Many antivirus software companies offer online scanning. But for the first time, let's use the development of Panda, and then you will already choose the scanner that you like best
Instructions
Step 1
An online scanner is a virtual program that is installed on your PC at the same time, and after a scanning session, it “leaves” it as soon as you close your Internet browser. It is convenient - it does not take up space on your computer and does not leave any traces.
Visit Panda's online scan site at https://www.viruslab.ru/service/check/. On this page you can read a lot of useful and interesting information about the proposed product, its benefits and capabilities
You will also see two bright blue oblong buttons "Buy protection" and "Check your PC". Today we are interested in the button "Check PC" - click on it.
Step 2
You will be taken to the page of the free online antivirus Panda ActiveScan 2.0. This antivirus is a new generation product, its work is based on the principle of "collective intelligence". In addition to detecting malware, this product has another significant advantage. Due to its "online" nature, it is automatically updated.
Step 3
There is a large green button labeled “Scan” on the scanner page. Directly below it are several "submenu" buttons: "Quick scan", "Full scan", "Custom checks". Select the type of scan that you need at the moment and click on the green "Scan" button.
Step 4
If this is the first time you scan your PC in this way, the program will first offer you to download the ActiveX controls component - it will take no more than a minute. Click on the "Scan" button again. The process will start, and after a while you will be able to see a full report of the scan performed.
