On-access scanning is your first line of defense from malware attacks. You must have on-access
scanning enabled and configured to scan all files when reading. You should never turn off
on-access scanning when reading from and writing to disk. Also, make sure you scan all types
of files and not the default + additional file types.
To configure on-access scanning when reading and writing files and for all files types scan using
ePolicy Orchestrator, access VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.0, On-Access Default Processes
Policies, and click Scan Items. Select the following settings:
• Next to Scan files, click the following:
• When writing to disk — Strongly suggested ( Default = Enable )
• When reading from disk — Required ( Default = Enable )
• Next to File types to scan, make sure you click All files.
