Device scan

The Device scan section is accessible from Advanced setup > Scans and allows you to configure scanning parameters for scan profiles.

On-demand scan

Selected profile—A specific set of parameters used by the on-demand scanner. To create a new one, click Edit next to List of profiles. Refer to Scan profiles for more details.

Prevent standby during scan—When enabled, the device stays awake while a scan is in progress. If the device is running on battery power, it may still go into standby to save energy.

After you select the scan profile, you can configure the following options:

Scan targets—If you want to scan a specific target or a group of targets, click Edit next to Scan targets and select an option from the folder (tree) structure. Refer to Scan targets for more details.

Detection responses for on-demand scan—You can configure reporting and protection levels for each scan profile. By default, scan profiles use the same setup as defined in the Real-time file system protection. Disable the toggle next to Use detection responses to configure custom reporting and protection levels. Refer to Protections for a detailed explanation of reporting and protection levels.

ThreatSense—Advanced setup options, such as file extensions you want to control and detection methods used. Refer to ThreatSense for more information.
