The scan screen contains information on each type of scan. To choose a scan type, select the appropriate tab. MacScan offers three different types of spyware scans: quick scan, full scan, and custom scan. 4. 1. 1 Quick Scan The Quick Scan checks the files in your home folder for known spyware applications. MacScan will also scan your running processes for the presence of spyware. If spyware is detected in the current processes but does not appear for isolation after Quick Scan is finished, it may be running from a folder not accessible with your current permissions. If this is the case, try running a Full Scan. If you are unable to scan a specific location with Custom Scan, run MacScan in Authenticated Mode. If you do not have administrator access to run in Authenticated Mode, contact the administrator and ask for assistance.
