Quick and Deep Scans

Advanced System Protector has been designed to Quick Scan your System and Deep Scan your System. Both these scans are a good way to check your PC for infections. A Quick Scan has been designed so that you can check your PC every morning, without spending much time on the scan. This will check for infections by the file path and warn you in case of any infections found. A Deep Scan should be performed on the first installation of Advanced System Protector, and then on a weekly basis. This is a thorough scan for your computer, where the files and folders are searched for infection on the basis of file path and MD5, a file recognition technology. In case an infection is found, you have the option to remove, ignore, quarantine or delete it, as per your choice.

An actual scan of my own PC , Windows XP Home SP 3. Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80 GHz, 3.2 GB Ram, resulted in no false positives. The In Depth Scan of 287396 items took 32 minutes and 26 seconds was slow for sure, but it was initial scan of my system. The quick scan of 220213 items took only 5 minutes and 51 seconds which was not bad at all. . I also found the GUI to be both very nice and easy to navigate. There is no nag screen unless one tries to enable the realtime shields. I found all the other features fully functional scheduling scans, auto updates of antispyware signatures etc. .

I am still road testing this software so far so good only complaint is the software cannot be turned off from running in the background sort of the same thing like with SUPERAntispyware when first downloaded, but has no way to disable running when windows starts up. but thats minor. hopefully they will get enough feedback to correct it . the scans are working when scheduled and updates are being received like clockwork. I also came across this today a site of theirs a Spyware Library http://www.spywarelib.com/Default.aspx
