In addition to turning on Real-time Scan and configuring Scheduled Scan, Trend Micro recommends initiating Scan Now on computers that you suspect to be infected.
Note: Scan Now and Manual Scan are the same type of scan. The only difference is that you initiate Scan Now remotely using the Web console, while users run Manual Scan locally on their client computers.
To change the pre-configured Scan Now settings before initiating the scan, click Settings. The Scan Now Settings screen opens.
In the client tree, select the clients that will perform scanning and then click Initiate Scan Now. The server sends a notification to the clients.
Note: If you do not select any client, OfficeScan automatically notifies all clients in the client tree.
Check the notification status and verify if there are clients that did not receive the notification.
Click Select Un-notified Computers and then Initiate Scan Now to immediately resend the notification to un-notified clients. MORE >>
