VIPRE RapidScan® Technology enables previously scanned files by a specific scan to be checked much faster on subsequent scans. This means each scan created (Custom, Quick, or Full) remembers what files it has scanned before.
By keeping track of items already scanned, RapidScan® quickly scans only files that have changed since the previous RapidScan®, allowing for very quick successive scans. When a previously checked file is modified, RapidScan® will re-scan it.
It is also important to note that the rapid scan only works on subsequent scans. Thus, when first enabled, the first scan run after that point will run for the normal amount of time as it would normally.
If you wish to scan all items in full, make sure this option isn’t checked.
Note: This only applies to Custom Scans or Scheduled Scans. Starting a Manual Quick or Full Scan will not use VIPRE RapidScan® Technology.
