Scanning Viruses
ServerProtect provides three scan modes for detecting viruses: Real-time Scan, Scan
Now (Manual scan), and scheduled scan.
Real-time Scan checks all incoming and outgoing files on the server for signs of
infection. Scan Now scans on-demand, allowing you to check a machine for virus
exposure -- immediately. Scheduled scan checks for infected files on selected
ServerProtect servers at predetermined times.
There are five actions for dealing with infected files: Bypass (Ignore), Delete,
Rename, Quarantine (Move), and Clean.
You can do the following:
• Choose the type of files to scan
• Prevent users from modifying or deleting selected directories/files using the Deny
Write list. For more information on configuring the Deny write list, see the related
topic in the online help.
Note: The results of each scan are available in the Scan Result logs. You can take action
upon the infected files directly from the Scan Result window, providing you a
convenient way to take appropriate actions during a virus infection event. For more
information, refer to the Viewing Scan Result Information topic in the online help.
Defining Actions Against Viruses
ServerProtect lets you configure the kind of action(s) to take against infected files
that are found on your network during a Real-time Scan or Scan Now.
