Recommended type of scan.

[DaMan]

Hi, I was researching on the difference between a quick scan and a full scan and to my knowledge what I understand is that a quick scan will scan a hard drive in all areas that malware is known to store itself where a full scan will scan all areas of the

hard drive, so it is recommended  to just run a quick scan. My question is if today or tomorrow someone creates a virus which stores itself on the hard drive where no other malware stores itself, wouldn't a quick scan not detect it and a full scan will? So

then wouldn't it be best to do a full scan ?
