Now that you have set your Preferences you are now ready to scan your system. Click the Start scan button to start. Aranea will begin its scan for known infections/intrusions (this action will automatically remove any calls in your Registry that leads to spyware known by Aranea). Once Aranea has completed the scan, a list of known registry entries will be displayed as Checked (this does not mean that these items were found).

If Aranea Quarantines any files, they will be renamed and moved to your Quarantined folder, making them completely harmless (Quarantined folder is selected in your Preferences). If your system was infected by one or more files and Aranea Quarantined these files, reboot your system so that any changes made will take affect.

We recommend you check your Aranea Live Update frequently, to keep your computer clean from future Spyware/Adware/Trojan softwares.
