Sometimes the real time scanner doesn’t always catch what it’s supposed to catch, and additionally it can catch some contaminated files which haven’t yet installed the malware.

Manual scanning is almost completely redundant. If malware wasn’t detected by real-time scanning, it will not be detected by manual scanning either. I say “almost completely redundant” as it’s possible a new strain of malware could have slipped in prior to your antivirus software being updated to detect it. In such circumstances, a manual scan would detect the malware once its definition files had been updated – but then, of course, so would the next scheduled scan.

Actually I disagree. Manual scanning often scans more (i.e. a complete scan), and may catch things that have passed by real time scanning. Ultimately manual scanning is also the only option if you want to use an additional, different scanner than the one you have installed.

Background scans and manual scans use the exact same definitions – and the exact same heuristics – and so will detect the exact same items. If a malicious process is running, it should be detected by background scanning. However, if it’s not detected by background scanning, it’ll not be detected by manual scanning either. The only exception to this is dormant malware – a zip file containing a malicious executable, say – that your AV can now detect, but couldn’t detect at the time the file was downloaded because the definition files hadn’t been updated at that time. Even if this scenario, the malware will be detected by scheduled scanning or as soon as you open the zip file. The situation is obviously different if you choose to use a secondary/additional AV – then you will want to initiate a manual scan – but, other than that, manual scanning is really quite redundant.

You’re making several assumptions about exactly how malware scanners work. Some do, indeed, work exactly as you outline. Some do not. I truly wish it were that simple.
