VirusScan
8.6 for Mac User Guide
Scheduling scans and eUpdates
On-Demand scans
When VirusScan for Mac scans for viruses, it uses information in the DAT files to find
and remove viruses. Many new viruses are discovered daily, and McAfee regularly
creates new DAT files to provide protection from these viruses. To ensure the best
anti-virus protection, you can use ePolicy Orchestrator to inform VirusScan for Mac
where to access the latest DAT files, to create schedules for replacing earlier DAT files,
and to run On-Demand scans.
Using ePolicy Orchestrator, you can create these types of scheduled tasks for the
VirusScan for Mac software:
On-Demand scan
eUpdate
Scheduled tasks for a computer can be set to execute based on the local time or GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time). However, ePolicy Orchestrator cannot monitor the progress
of a scheduled task, so we recommend that you periodically view the log file on the
server to check if the scheduled task was executed successfully.
VirusScan for Mac can perform On-Demand scanning of your files, so that all files on
your computer are checked for viruses, Trojan horses and other malware. You can
create any number of On-Demand scan schedules. The scan schedules can be
configured to run at set intervals, and can be run at any time by the user. You can also
disable schedules that you do not want to run automatically.
