Idle-state scan

You can enable the idle-state scanner in Advanced setup under Detection engine > Malware scans > Idle-state scan.

Idle-state scan

Set the switch next to Enable Idle-state scanning to On to enable this feature. When the computer is in idle state, a silent computer scan is performed on all local drives.

By default, the idle-state scanner will not run when the computer (notebook) is operating on battery power. You can override this setting by activating the switch next to Run even if computer is powered from battery in Advanced setup.

Turn on the Enable logging switch in Advanced setup to record a computer scan output in the Log files section (from the main program window click Tools > Log files, and then select Computer scan from the Log drop-down menu).
