   I took a look at McAfee's scan settings and saw it did a scan once a   
   week.   
      
   Being Paranoid I changed the setting to Custom - every day - when the   
   computer wasn't being used.

   I do a lot of manual (1, 2, 3, etc.) file scans after I download   
   anything, so the onscreen reading shows the last thing it has done.   
      
   I have looked through the Log sometimes to see the details of any recent   
   scan.
