Scan Job Configuration and Scheduling
You can run scan jobs on demand or you can configure scan jobs to run periodically.
This section outlines the process of configuring and running manual and scheduled
scans. For detailed descriptions of all scanning options, see the CA eTrust Antivirus
online help.
Note You may not want to include Snapshot shares (see “Snapshot Management
and Usage” on page 112) as part of your virus scan. Because access to an archived
version of the file system provided by a snapshot share is read-only, you cannot
treat or move any infected file; you would have to delete the entire snapshot to
effect a cure. A more useful approach is to always scan your file system for viruses
before running a snapshot. Adjust your antivirus scan schedule to synchronize with
your snapshot schedule so that any infected files are cured or removed before the
snapshot is scheduled to fire.
Defining Scan Jobs
This section provides an overview of the major choices available in configuring scan
jobs. Access these options by selecting
Local Scanner Options from the Scanner
