Setting up scheduled scans that run on Windows
computers
Security risks
Detections by SONAR are considered suspicious events. You configure actions for
these detections as part of the SONAR configuration.
See Managing SONAR"
For Windows client computers, you can assign a first and a second action for
Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition to take when it finds risks.
You can configure different actions for viruses and security risks. You can use
different actions for scheduled, on-demand, or Auto-Protect scans.
Note: On Windows client computers, the list of the detection types for security
risks is dynamic and changes as Symantec discovers new categories. New categories
are downloaded to the console or the client computer when new definitions arrive.
For Mac client computers, you can specify whether or not Symantec Endpoint
Protection Small Business Edition repairs the infected files that it finds. You can
also specify whether Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition moves
the infected files that it cannot repair into the Quarantine. You can configure the
settings for all administrator-defined scans or for Auto-Protect scans.
See Managing the Quarantine"
You configure scheduled scans as part of a Virus and Spyware Protection policy.
The scan settings are different for Windows clients and for Mac clients.

Setting up scheduled scans that run on Windows computers

By default, the client moves any files that security risks
infect to the Quarantine on the infected computer. The client
also tries to remove or repair the risk's side effects.
If a security risk cannot be quarantined and repaired, the
second action is to log the risk.
By default, the Quarantine contains a record of all actions
that the client performed. You can return the client
computer to the state that existed before the client tried the
removal and repair.
On Windows client computers, you can disable Auto-Protect
scanning for security risks. You might want to temporarily
disable Auto-Protect scanning of security risks if detection
of a security risk could compromise a computer's stability.
Other types of scans continue to detect the risk.
