Real-time Scan constantly scans all files that are accessed and provides powerful virus protection that runs in the background. All incoming/outgoing files are monitored, thus infected files are prevented from being copied to or from a server.
To protect both the Celerra File Server system and the AV Server, the default setting for the ServerProtect Real-time Scan function is Incoming & outgoing.
EMC CAVA triggers Real-time Scan to scan files on a storage device once receiving the following events from the storage device:
  • A file was renamed on the storage device.
  • A file was copied or saved to the storage device.
  • A file was modified and closed on the storage device.
If you want to define stricter conditions to trigger Real-time Scan, refer to the documentation of your storage device.
The following scan options are specific to Real-time Scan:
  • Scan floppy at startup: Your floppy disk drive is scanned for boot viruses when you turn your computer on. Any diskette inside your floppy disk drive is also scanned. This prevents you from booting your computer with an infected diskette.
  • Scan floppy at shutdown: Your computer’s floppy disk drive is checked for boot viruses when the computer is shut down and any diskette inside it is also scanned.
  • Scan floppy boot area: This option scans the floppy boot area of your computer. This feature protects against Master Boot Record viruses.
  • MacroTrap: ServerProtect includes patented MacroTrap™ technology to guard against macro viruses in Microsoft™ Office files and templates.
  • Scan OLE layers: This option scans embedded files. OLE layer scan offers five layers of protection. See OLE Layer Scan for more information.
  • Scan mapped network drive: This option scans any mapped network drive. You should have an existing network mapped drive for this option to work.
