Scheduling how often to scan
McAfee strongly recommends you schedule on-demand scans at these intervals:
• Daily — Too often, unless you have a major malware outbreak.
• Weekly — Aggressive and provides good protection.
• Monthly — Decent protection with acceptable risk.
• Quarterly — The absolute bare minimum scheduling interval.
NOTE: Configure throttling using the Performance tab and the System utilization slider.
Refer to Configuring system utilization to match system use.
