Hello,

 

For more good background - good to know about which version of F-Secure (and type of) was installed.

 

Common steps for launch scan:

 

-> Wait, when all updates downloaded and installed (able to check it -> tray-picture click, check updates, check_now, look for list of updates and status around); Also nice.. to do restart for system after that;

 

-> Double-click F-Secure logo picture from desktop and with main window should be "button" for "Scan" - which launch just Smart/Fast/Speed scan for system. It's can be enough - just if.. system already with troubles and if some of malicious thing in "common" directories;

 

-> For FULL SCAN you able to use Launch Pad or Main window of F-Secure (Tools-part) and get there... "link-button" for "Start Full Scan".

It goes to be Full Scan for system - directories and checking for malicious, suspicious, spyware and hard-to-find viruses;

Sorry - if you ask about other things.

 

Also.. F-Secure have good "Help/About" with installation.
You able to choose "Help" from any place in UI and read Help about common questions or parts (include Scan-process). Here will be good instructions, steps and other.

Also... FAQ/Documentation/Knowledge Base on website.

There's a KB article that answers the question: How can I perform a full computer scan?
