Protect Windows computers from security risks by installing the OfficeScan client on each computer. The client provides three methods of scanning: Real-time Scan, Scheduled Scan, and Manual Scan.
The client reports to the parent server from which it was installed. Configure clients clients to report to another server by using the Client Mover tool. The client sends events and status information to the server in real time. Examples of events are virus/malware detection, client startup, client shutdown, start of a scan, and completion of an update.
The OfficeScan client features available on a computer depend on the computer’s operating system.
