   • Smart Scan:
     Check files and folders that are most likely to contain malicious software. Quicker than a Full scan and generally detects the same threats.
   • Custom Scan:
     Check files in a specific location on your Mac.
   • Full Scan:
     Scan all the files on your Mac. Takes longer than other types of scans but checks every file on your Mac for malware.
