Configuring real-time scanning

Real-time scanning keeps the computer protected all the time, as it is scanning files when they are accessed, opened or closed.

It runs in the background, which means that once it has been set up, it is basically transparent to the user.

• Real-time scanning settings
  The settings available on the Settings > Real-time scanning page are described here.
• Enabling real-time scanning for the whole domain
  In this example, real-time scanning is enabled for the whole domain.
• Forcing all hosts to use real-time scanning
  In this example, real-time scanning is configured so that users cannot disable it; this ensures that all hosts stay protected in any circumstances.
• Excluding Microsoft Outlooks's .pst file from real-time scanning
  If you have set real-time scanning to scan all files, you might want to exclude Microsoft Outlook’s .PST file from the scanning in order not to slow down the system unnecessarily, as PST files are typically very large and take a long time to scan.
