Idle-state detection

Idle state detection settings can be configured in Advanced setup under Detection engine > Malware scans > Idle-state scanning > Idle state detection. These settings specify a trigger for Idle-state scanning, when:

  • the screen saver is running,
  • the computer is locked,
  • a user logs off.

Use the switches for each respective state to enable or disable the different idle state detection triggers.
