McAfee Help

Turn on scheduled scanning

Turn on scheduled scanning to ensure the continued security of your PC, and to reduce the need for manual scans.

A scheduled scan checks your PC for viruses and other threats on a regular basis. By default, McAfee performs a scheduled scan once a week, but you can modify the schedule to fit your needs.

1 Open the Schedule Scan Settings page.
2 Under Scheduled Scans, click Turn on.
