OfficeScan clients can
use one of two scan methods when scanning for security risks. The
scan methods are smart scan and conventional scan.
-
Smart Scan
Clients that use
smart scan are referred to as smart scan clients in this
document. Smart scan clients benefit
from local scans and in-the-cloud queries provided by File Reputation
Services.
-
Conventional Scan
Clients that do
not use smart scan are called conventional scan clients. A conventional
scan client stores all OfficeScan components on the client computer and scans
all files locally.
