A Full Scan is run when Windows are fully loaded and it is a lot easy to use. Difference between Boot and Full Scanįull Scan is better than Boot-Time, but both of them have different purposes and usage. Most antivirus software has a feature to automatically perform a Boot scan after a fixed time, but users can also perform this scan manually at any time as well. This is a new tool that scans files using the minimum features and services that are required for the software to run, scan, and remove the threat in normal scans. It scans for those types of malware that are not detected or removed by normal scan and removes them here before the operating system and other services load. Where the antivirus scans the system before even loading the OS.
Sometimes viruses can infect your computers that a normal Antivirus can not detect or remove that is where Avast Boot Scan comes in handy.
