Using Canon Scanners to Consolidate Your Photos?

Most people have a whole mess of photographs laying around their home in either boxes or photo albums. Over time, these photos end up taking up a lot of space around the house, and you may want to consider scanning them into your computer to free up that space. The best way to do this is by using Canon scanners. Canon scanners are some of the best on the market, producing a very high quality image file from the photos you scan.

Does computer need to be turned on when running anti virus scan?

Yes, a computer must be turned on to run an antivirus scan. All programs residing in an operating system (and the operating system itself) will work and function if and only if the computer is booted. However, you can still run antivirus while the computer is idle. Some antivirus scanners will still work if the computer runs into sleep mode. Software needs hardware to be able to work. So, you need to boot up the computer to start any programs (including antivirus scan).
