A scan can leave your computer with small free spaces in it. When you reboot it puts all your file in a space free pattern. Which will makes it run faster and smother. A great virus scanner that uses little resources and is very powerful is ESET NOD23. You can try it free at trojanhorseremoval.org if you'd like.

How is a quick scan different from a full system scan?

A quick scan just scans most commonly infected files on your computer. That saves you time, and is just fine when you have no reason to be concerned that you have a virus. A full system scan will scan everything in your computer, which is necessary for some more extreme viruses, but it takes longer.
