Does my Anti Virus program run when i turn the computer off,or do i have to start it new???

Answer 1

I know that when I start up my computer, Norton antivirus runs automatically and sort of delays me from using the computer for a minute or so. If you have Norton it is probably automatic.

Answer 2

Programes, including Anti-virus usually only work when the computer is running complete with the Operating System (e.g. Windows)...... most anti-virus scans usually start-up when the operating system loads, and can be set to do a quick check on start-up (though it does mean the computer takes longer to get going)

Answer 3

Technically if your computer is turned off nothing runs. Perhaps you might want to rephrase the question to include details...
