.. 🧠 Why a Full Scan Is Important

A full scan goes deeper than a quick scan:

* Scans entire hard drive
* Detects hidden malware and rootkits
* Checks startup programs
* Identifies dormant threats

It’s essential when:

* Your system is slow or behaving strangely
* You downloaded unknown files
* You haven’t scanned your PC in a while

Many users don’t get full protection because of these errors:

..# **1. Running Scan Without Updating Antivirus**

Old definitions miss new threats.

..# **2. Using PC During Scan**

Active usage slows down scanning and reduces efficiency.

..# **3. Skipping Hidden/System Files**

Default settings may exclude some areas.
