If you were to get a report card based on your computer maintenance, what grade would you give yourself? Running scans is good, but without updating you can miss something important. Case in point: the insane man who tried to build a car bomb in my home state. Had Emirates updated their no-fly list they would not have admitted a psycho guy on their plane. See how important updating is??? Emirates happens to be my favorite airline to fly as it is quite comfortable even in coach which I always fly, but that was a big mistake on their part. Don't they want to punish the psychos? How could they be so careless, psychos are dangerous
If whichever program you are using for malware, adware and viruses doesn't automatically update, you need to make it part of your habit to click UPDATE before running a scan. You don't want dangerous psychos gaining access to your computer.
How often you should run scans is based on your web usage. Not just how much you use it but what types of sites you visit. If you are on Facebook all day, run a daily scan. If you are strictly on SSL sites then maybe once a week. When you do your next scan, remember the psycho almost got away. Don't let psychos get away in YOUR computer.
