Question

Helena purchased a security software package to protect her new laptop against threats such as spyware and computer viruses. she has the option to automatically install updates and perform full computer system scans. how frequently should she set up the computer to run the full scans?

Answer 1

If you regularly use the Internet, then you will have to run a virus scan more  than once per week. More regular scans can vary based on your Internet usage. You can run scans as often as two to three times per week or even daily if you are concerned about a virus getting onto your computer.  Updating the security software is a must.
