Default Virus Scanning

How often do you do a virus scan of your computer? When you do it do you do a quick scan or a complete scan? I generally run mine every couple of days and I do the complete scan because I am on the internet a lot. Even though I have a few different programs I still get viruses which is frustrating to me.

I hardly do a complete scan, I do it mostly when my antivirus software catches a virus. I normally rely on the quick action of my software.

I run a scan once a week. And that's the complete scan. I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to the precious information on my computer. Just like everyone else in this century, it's my lifeline.

I have mine set to be constantly alert for infections so it's always running a quick scan. I run a full scan every so often or when something seems a bit wonky or slow.

I usually do a complete system scan about once a month. I just want to make sure that the auto set-up is catching all the viruses that are coming in. I do a lot of work online so it's always best to run the scan every month, in my opinion.

I do a complete system scan every day. From the looks of this thread I guess that makes me a bit of a freak! I like my system to stay clean.
