   Instructions and Notes	Recommended Scan Settings
   To customize scan settings for the Security Agent, click a desktop or server group. See Scan Targets and Actions for Security Agents. Note If you grant users the privilege to configure their own scan settings, the user-configured settings will be used during the scan.	Target All scannable files: Includes all scannable files. Unscannable files are password protected files, encrypted files, or files that exceed the user-defined scanning restrictions. Scan compressed files up to layer 2: Scans compressed files that are 2 compression layers deep.
   	Exclusions Do not scan the directories where Trend Micro products are installed
   	Advanced Settings Modify Spyware/Grayware Approved List (for Anti-spyware only)
   To customize scan settings for the Messaging Security Agent, expand an agent and click the following: Antivirus: Click to have the agent scan for viruses and other malware. See Scan Targets and Actions for Messaging Security Agents. Content Filtering: Click to have the agent scan email for prohibited content. See Managing Content Filtering Rules. Attachment Blocking: Click to have the agent scan email for attachment rule violations. See Configuring Attachment Blocking.	The agent performs a scan every Sunday, starting at 5:00 AM. Customize this schedule to run during an off-peak time for your clients. The agent scans all scannable files. It includes the message bodies of email messages in the scan. When the agent detects a file with a virus or other malware, it cleans the file. When it cannot clean the file, it replaces with text/file instead. When the agent detects a file with a Trojan or worm, it replaces the Trojan or worm with a text/file. When the agent detects a file with a Packer, it replaces it with text/file. The agent does not clean infected compressed files.

4. Select the groups or Messaging Security Agents that will apply the Scheduled Scan settings.
