Click the Target selection tab and enter the computer IP or hostnames you want to scan for
vulnerabilities. Make sure you customize all scan options according to your nework or system
configuration before you start the scan in order to save tons of bandwidth and resources and
have a more accurate scan result. Then click Start the scan.
When the scan process is complete, Nessus displays the findings and the recommendations.

11.7. Check your system's RAM health
Usually, when your system has an unexpected behavior (it hangs or it resets itself from time
to time), it may be a memory problem. You can test your RAM modules with the memtest
program, as described below.
Start your computer and boot from LinuxDefender CD. Type memtest at boot-time and press
Enter.
The Memtest program will start immediately and it will run several tests to check the RAM
status. You can configure what tests to run and other Memtest options, by pressing c.
A full Memtest run may take up to 8 hours, depending on your systems RAM capacity and
speed. It's recommended to let Memtest run all its tests to entirely check for RAM errors. You
can quit at any time, by pressing ESC.
If you intend to buy new hardware (a complete system or only some components) it's recom-
mended to use LinuxDefender and memtest to check it for errors or compatibility issues.
