Anti-Malware State
Turn Anti-malware on or off. You can configure this Policy or computer to inherit its Anti-Malware On/Off state from its parent Policy or you can override the setting locally.
Real-Time Scan
Real-time Scan is a persistent and ongoing scan. Each time a file is received, opened, downloaded, copied, or modified, Real-time Scan scans the file for security risks. If Vulnerability ProtectionDeep Security detects no security risk, the file remains in its location and users can proceed to access the file. If Vulnerability ProtectionDeep Security detects a security risk, it displays a notification message, showing the name of the infected file and the specific security risk.
To perform Real-Time Malware Scans, you must select a Scan Configuration and a Schedule during which it is in effect.
Malware Scan Configurations determine such things as which file types are scanned in which directories, what types of malware to scan for, and what to do with malware when it is detected. You can examine a Scan Configuration's properties by selecting it from the drop-down menu and then clicking Edit. To manage all your different Malware Scan Configurations, go to Policies > Common Objects > Other > Malware Scan Configurations in the Vulnerability ProtectionDeep Security Manager.
Manual Scan
Manual Scan is an on-demand scan and starts immediately after a user runs the scan on the computer. The time it takes to complete scanning depends on the number of files to scan and the computer's hardware resources.
