Setting up a regular spyware scan is a great way to keep your computer free of harmful viruses.

Open the Spyware Scan from the Comcast Toolbar.
Click the Scan tab.
In the Scan tab, you have the option to select a Daily Scan or a Weekly Scan. If you choose to schedule a Daily Scan, you’ll choose a time of day for the scan to run. If you choose a Weekly scan, you’ll choose the day of the week that you’d like the scan to run. If you don’t select a scan schedule, a Daily Scan will be run by default.
Choose the type of scan you’d like to have run: Quick Scan, Full System Scan, or a Custom Scan.
Once you’ve made your selections, click Save Changes and your spyware scans will run based on the schedule you’ve selected. You’ll see a message when the scheduled spyware scan starts and ends.
