Issue

Click to expand

Computer scans should be performed to examine your computer for infiltrations. We recommend that a Computer scan be run at least twice a month, or more frequently for high-risk computers as part of routine security measures. Regular scanning can protect your computer against the following:

  • Threats that were already present on your computer before your ESET product was installed.
  • Dormant, potentially harmful files on your system that may have been undetectable by earlier virus definitions.
  • Infections that occurred while the real-time scanner was disabled (possible only if turned off by the user).

In some cases, our analysts can more effectively troubleshoot your issue if they have access to the system logs created by your ESET product.
