Scanning for Threats
How to Begin a Scan with Identity Patrol
Identity Patrol has been designed to be as user friendly as possible. The program has an easy to use navigation system, and can perform a full deep scan with just one click. To get started, use the button shown on the screen shot below.
The Scanning Process
Identity Patrol will deep scan your computer for threats, and depending on how many programs and files on you have on your computer, this process could take up to 20 minutes to complete and should not be interrupted for best detection results. The status bar at the bottom of the screen will show you what areas of your computer the program is currently scanning and the DEEP SCAN process will take the longest as this is when Identity Patrol examines the sub files and folders that other spyware programs ignore - which is exactly why malware likes to hide there as most programs can't detect them there.
