Real-time Scan

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 OfficeScan detects no security risk, the file remains in its location and users can proceed to access the file. If OfficeScan detects a security risk or a probable virus/malware, it displays a notification message, showing the name of the infected file and the specific security risk.

Real-Time Scan maintains a persistent scan cache which reloads each time the OfficeScan agent starts. The OfficeScan agent tracks any changes to files or folders that occurred since the OfficeScan agent unloaded and removes these files from the cache.

Configure and apply Real-time Scan settings to one or several agents and domains, or to all agents that the server manages.
