How often will a full scan find malware that a quick scan didn't find?
Especially, if one had run a full scan withing the past week with the
same program.
What are the chances that a quickscan in most antimalware programs
will find malware, versus a full scan?
My impression has been that almost all the problems are found in the
part that the "quickscan" covers. Since my friend is having to run
these programs more than once, and would like to run more than one
program in the same day, if running the quickscan were likely to find
the problems, especially problems since she ran a full scan with the
same program, that would work much better for her.
FWIW She ran BitDefender last night for at least the second time, and
found two more pieces of malware.
