5] Run a complete system scan to check for viruses on your computer.

  1. Click on Scan for Threats , then select Run Active Scan or Run Full Scan.

    2. Active Scan only scans the most commonly infected files, and takes just a few minutes.

 If Symantec found viruses, it will give you the option to fix or quarantine the infected files. Either method will keep the infected files from affecting other files on your system.
