Can someone tell me what is the difference between the regular antivirus scan and the scan it performs at the boot time?

    As far as I know, boot time scan only checks for the virus or suspicious files that affect the boot sector. Not entirely sure about this though.

    Boot-time scan — Users can schedule a boot-time scan to remove infections that load during Windows startup.
