Real-time Scan

Real-time Scan is a persistent and ongoing scan. Each time a file is received, opened, downloaded, copied, or modified, Real-time Scan scans the file for security risks. If OfficeScan detects no security risk, the file remains in its location and users can proceed to access the file. If OfficeScan detects a security risk or a probable virus/malware, it displays a notification message, showing the name of the infected file and the specific security risk.

• To modify the notification message, open the web console and go to Notification > Client User Notifications.

Configure and apply Real-time Scan settings to one or several clients and domains, or to all clients that the server manages.

To configure Real-time Scan settings:

• Networked Computers > Client Management

1. In the client tree, click the root domain icon to include all clients or select specific domains or clients.

2. Click Settings > Scan Settings > Real-time Scan Settings.

3. On the Target tab, select the following options:

• Enable virus/malware scan

• Enable spyware/grayware scan

• If you disable virus/malware scanning, spyware/grayware scanning also becomes disabled.
  
  During a virus outbreak, Real-time Scan cannot be disabled (or will automatically be enabled if initially disabled) to prevent the virus from modifying or deleting files and folders on client computers.
