Scan Options

•	Randomize scheduled scan start times by x minutes - specify the number of minutes. The scheduled scan start time is randomized to reduce the impact on network traffic. This might impact the network traffic if the scan for multiple systems start at the same time.

Missed scan options at start-up: Select one of the following options on how a scan will be performed if the workstation was not ON during a scheduled scan:

•	Do not perform quick scan - select this option if you do not want to perform quick scan on startup.

•	Perform quick scan approximately x minutes after start-up - specify the number of minutes after start-up when Faronics Anti-Virus must perform a quick scan.

•	Prompt user to perform quick scan - select the option to prompt user to perform a quick scan.

 

Scan Exceptions

 

Folders or files that are known to the safe and free of infections can be added to the Scan Exceptions. Files added to the Scan Exceptions will always be scanned by Faronics Anti-Virus. However, Faronics Anti-Virus will never report the files as malicious or infected. This feature is useful since files and folders that are known to be safe by the Administrator will not be reported as malicious.

a.	Click Add.

b.	In the Add dialog, select File by full path, File by name only, Entire folder, or Threat ID. Click Browse to select the file or folder and click OK.

c.	The File by full path is added to the Scan Exceptions.

 

Advanced Options

For each type of scan, select the following options (some options may be grayed out depending on the type of scan):

•	Enable rootkit detection - detects if the computer is infected with a rootkit.

•

Scan inside archives - scans the contents of a zip file. Select for the scan to include archive files, such as .RAR and .ZIP files. When a .RAR file is found to contain an infected file, the .RAR file will be quarantined. If a .ZIP file is found to contain an infected file, the infected file is quarantined and replaced by a .TXT file with text indicating that it was infected and that it has been quarantined.

•	Scan at lower priority - select to operate Faronics Anti-Virus at a lower priority, allowing you to continue working with other programs without decreased performance. It is good to select this option for scheduled scans that occur during times of regular use of the computer.

—	Interrupt active scan for USB scan - select this option to interrupt an active scan to scan the USB drive when it is inserted. Once the active scan is interrupted, it will not resume automatically and must be restarted manually.

—	Do not perform USB scan if another scan is already in progress - select this option to ensure that an active scan is not interrupted when a USB drive is inserted. The USB drive must be manually scanned once the active scan is complete.
