Real-time Scan is
a persistent and ongoing scan. Each time a file is received, opened, downloaded, copied,
or
modified, Real-time Scan scans the file for security risks. If the Security Agent does not
detect a security risk, users can proceed to access the file. If the Security Agent detects a
security risk or a probable virus/malware, a notification message displays indicating
the name of
the infected file and the specific security risk.
Real-time Scan maintains a persistent scan cache which reloads each
time the Security Agent
starts. The Security Agent tracks any changes to files or folders that occurred since the
Security Agent unloaded
and removes these files from the cache.
