Run regular scans
Managing Virus and Spyware Protection
Description
By default, Auto-Protect and SONAR runs on
client computers. A default scheduled active scan
also runs on client computers.
You can run scans on demand. The scan settings
can be customized.
See Running on-demand scans on client
computers" on page 160.
You might want to create and customize
scheduled scans.
Typically, you might want to create a full
scheduled scan to run once a week, and an active
scan to run once per day. By default, Symantec
Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition
generates an active scan that runs at 12:30 P.M.
On unmanaged computers, Symantec Endpoint
Protection Small Business Edition also includes
a default startup scan that is disabled.
You should make sure that you run an active scan
every day on the computers in your network. You
might want to schedule a full scan once a week or
once a month if you suspect that you have an
inactive threat in your network. Full scans
consume more computer resources and might
impact computer performance.
See Setting up scheduled scans that run on
Windows computers" on page 157.
See Setting up scheduled scans that run on Mac
computers" on page 159.
