Scheduled scanning is similar to manual scanning, except it follows a schedule you specify. Scheduled scanning performs a thorough scan of your Linux machine at regular, user-specified intervals. Schedule scans after office hours to avoid interfering with normal operations. Trend Micro recommends enabling scheduled scanning to keep servers free of viruses and other security risks.

Procedure

  1. Configure a scheduled scan.
    1. Click Scan Options → Scheduled Scan on the left menu.
    2. Select the Enable Scheduled Scan check box.
    3. Click Save to apply the setting.
