Quick Heal Total Security for Mac provides different scanning options to help you check your Mac for potential threats. You can scan your entire system or choose specific drives, folders, and files based on your requirements. These options let you perform a complete scan or focus on selected locations when needed.
The default settings for manual scans are generally sufficient for most users. You can adjust the scan options if required. If Virus Protection is enabled, you may not need to run manual scans regularly.
