Real Time Scan

- The real-time scanner is the 'always on' virus monitor which runs in the background, checking files when they are opened, copied or downloaded.
- We highly recommended you keep the real-time scanner active at all times.
- The real-time scanning area lets you enable or disable the scanner, and configure scan options.
- Note: Managed endpoints – Scanner settings should be configured in the Endpoint Manager profile.
