Boot scanning can be be used as a deletion method for TROJ_FAKEALE.SME and such other infections. This is an assured technique to get rid of all the infections in the system because the scan takes place before the startup of the operating system. At this time, the infections cannot execute and as a result, remain inactive. You will have to install Quick Heal antivirus in your system to get this feature of boot scanning.
