Scan one or more endpoints for file-based threats such as viruses, spyware, and grayware.

This task is supported by the following services:
  • Trend Micro Apex One as a Service
  • Standard Endpoint Protection
When searching for suspicious files on endpoints, you may trigger a one-time malware scan for a single endpoint using the context menu in Workbench or for up to 200 endpoints using the Response drop-down menu in Endpoint Inventory.

  • Agents on target endpoints must be connected and upgraded to the latest version.
  • If the agent on a target endpoint is disconnected, the task is queued until the agent reconnects. Queued tasks time out after 24 hours.
  • Depending on number of files, size of files, and storage device speed on target endpoints, the task may take several hours to complete.
