Protection scan management (continued)
DescriptionTask
In most cases, the default scan settings provide adequate
protection for computers.
If necessary, you can increase or decrease protection as
follows:
■ Prevent the computer users from changing scan
settings.
■ Change the time that a scan is scheduled to run.
■ Change the repair actions that occur when a virus is
detected.
■ Schedule a startup scan to run when the users log on
to the computers.
See “About adjusting the protection scans” on page 124.
Adjust scan settings
You can exclude a security risk or process from a
protection scan.
See “About exceptions” on page 125.
Identify scan exceptions
You or the computer users can quarantine infected files.
If a quarantined file cannot be fixed, you or the computer
users must decide what to do with the infected file.
See “About managing quarantined files” on page 123.

Exceptions are the known security risks and processes
that you want to exclude from the protection scans.
See “About exceptions” on page 125.

How protection scans work
Protection scans identify and neutralize or eliminate viruses and security risks
on your computers. Protection scans examine files for the viruses that match
definitions in a virus dictionary. Protection scans identify unknown behavior
anomalies in applications and processes.
See “About the types of protection scans” on page 115.
