Scan only new and changes files
To configure system behavior during Antivirus scans:
Sometimes, the system might be shut down before the Antivirus scan is completed. For such cases,
select the Run missed tasks at the startup check box to configure Acronis True Image 2021 to
resume the scan when the system starts again by selecting.
Moreover, you can enable the Prevent the sleep or hibernate mode option to prevent your
computer from shutting down if a scan operation is running.
The priority of antivirus scans can be decreased in case of a cPU overload to let other applications
perform properly. This option is enabled by default which might slow down the scanning. To speed
up the scans, clear the Give priority to other applications check box.
After configuring the Antivirus scans, click OK in the Setting section to save your changes.
You can view the Antivirus scan results in Scan details report.
10 Vulnerability assessment
Vulnerability assessment is one of the components of Acronis True Image 2021 Antivirus and
antimalware protection. It is a daily scan that runs in the background, detects vulnerabilities in your
system and apps, and then assesses their severity. You can also run the scan manually when needed.
To update the vulnerabilities database, a stable internet connection is required.
To view the vulnerabilities:
1. On the left sidebar, click PROTECTION.
2. On the Overview tab, under Vulnerability assessment, click Detected vulnerabilities. The report
is displayed.
3. To run a new scan, click Run scan.
4. [optional] To view the detailed information on a vulnerability in Acronis True Image 2021, click
the arrow next to its name. The Detailed information window opens with the vulnerability
details, like the affected product version.
5. [optional] To view more information on a vulnerability:
In the report, click the i icon next to the vulnerability name.
In the Detailed information window, click More information.
A webpage will be displayed with the detailed description of the vulnerability.
6. To resolve the detected issues, install the latest updates of the affected applications. Then, scan
again to ensure that the vulnerabilities are fixed. If theн persist, it means that some apps might
still put your system at risk. To protect your data fully, back up the operating system and enable
the antimalware protection.
To configure the vulnerability assessment:
1. On the left sidebar, click PROTECTION, then click Settings.
2. Go to the Vulnerability assessment tab, and switch the toggle on or off to enable or disable the
