Malware Scan

ID 246376

Malware Scan is a one-time full or custom scan of files on the device performed by the application. The application can carry out multiple malware scanning tasks at the same time.

By default, the application creates one standard virus scan task — a full scan. The application scans all the objects located on the local drives of the device, as well as all mounted and shared objects that are accessed via the Samba and NFS protocols with the recommended security settings.

During a full disk scan, the processor is busy. It is recommended to run the full scan task when the business is idle.
