Smart Scan Agent Pattern Parent topic

The Smart Scan Agent Pattern is updated daily and is downloaded by the OfficeScan clients’ update source (the OfficeScan server or a custom update source). The update source then deploys the pattern to smart scan clients.

Note
Smart scan clients are OfficeScan clients that administrators have configured to use File Reputation Services. Clients that do not use File Reputation Services are called conventional scan clients.
Smart scan clients use the Smart Scan Agent Pattern when scanning for security risks. If the pattern cannot determine the risk of the file, another pattern, called Smart Scan Pattern, is leveraged.
