Task
Configuring global system cache
The VirusScan Enterprise scan cache saves a list of scanned files that are clean. You can improve
your system performance by saving this clean file scan cache information during a system
reboot. This allows the on-demand scanner to use this clean file cache information to reduce
duplicate file scanning.
Configure the scan cache features using the General Options Policies and the Global Scan
Settings tab using the following user interface consoles.
