Settings > Real-time Scan
Real-time Scan runs continuously in the background. It provides maximum protection by scanning opened or saved files and displays a notification message when it detects a security risk.
Note: You can only configure Real-time Scan if your OfficeScan administrator grants you the privilege to modify scan settings.

If you choose to scan files based on extensions, you can click Edit to add or delete extensions. You do not need to add a period (.) when specifying file extensions.
Tip: Trend Micro recommends retaining the default extensions included in the list. Removing extensions may increase the chances of a security risk infection.
To exclude certain files from the scan, select Enable scan exclusion and click Edit to specify the directories, files, or file extensions to exclude. If you install the OfficeScan client on a ScanMail for Exchange server, exclude all ScanMail for Exchange folders.
Select additional settings under Scan settings.

Scan the boot sector of the USB storage device after plugging in: Automatically scans only the boot sector of USB storage device every time the user plugs it in.
