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.

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