- In case of rescan of failed/cancelled jobs, scanning would be triggered from the point of failure (resumed) instead of complete scan under the following conditions:
If the value of Date of scan is more then 48 hours, then the job would not be resumed and full scan would be initiated. This is to ensure that malware signatures used for scan does not differ significantly.

In case of complete rescan new scan result would be displayed. If user needs to perform a complete scan, then it can be triggered using on demand scan options.
