5. Click Stop Notification to prompt OfficeScan to stop notifying clients currently
being notified. Clients already notified and in the process of scanning will ignore
this command.
6. For clients already in the process of scanning, click Stop Scan Now to notify them
to stop scanning.
Settings Common to All Scan Types
For each scan type, configure three sets of settings: scan criteria, scan exclusions, and
scan actions. Deploy these settings to one or several clients and domains, or to all clients
that the server manages.
Scan Criteria
Specify which files a particular scan type should scan using file attributes such as file
type and extension. Also specify conditions that will trigger scanning. For example,
configure Real-time Scan to scan each file after it is downloaded to the computer.
User Activity on Files
Choose activities on files that will trigger Real-time Scan. Select from the following
options:
• Scan files being created/modified: Scans new files introduced into the computer
(for example, after downloading a file) or files being modified
• Scan files being retrieved: Scans files as they are opened
• Scan files being created/modified and retrieved
For example, if the third option is selected, a new file downloaded to the computer will
be scanned and stays in its current location if no security risk is detected. The same file
will be scanned when a user opens the file and, if the user modified the file, before the
modifications are saved.
