Why does it prompt me to run a scan after installing?

Because you should protect your computer and its files as soon as you have the tools.

We recommend that you run the scan that Rogers Yahoo! Online Protection asks for when it first opens after installation. The scan of your computer is for malicious software if you installed Anti-Virus or Yahoo! Anti-Spy. This initial scan attempts to find any malicious software that is already present on your computer and gives you the opportunity to remove it. Once you have completed the initial scan, Rogers Yahoo! Online Protection automatically helps prevent any further malicious software from being installed on your computer.

The initial scan can take a long time. If you decide to skip the initial scan, initiate scans yourself later, although as soon as possible—for example, at the end of the day. To start the Rogers Yahoo! Anti-Spy scan, launch the Rogers Yahoo! Online Protection Dashboard, click Anti-Spy, and then click Scan Now.
