158 Managing Virus and Spyware Protection
Setting up scheduled scans that run on Windows computers
You can save your scheduled scan settings as a template. The scan templates can
save you time when you configure multiple policies. You can use any scan that
you save as a template as the basis for a new scan in a different policy. A scheduled
scan template is included by default in the policy. The default scheduled scan
scans all files and folders.
See Managing scans on client computers"
See Customizing administrator-defined scans for clients that run on Windows
computers" on page 185.
If a computer misses a scheduled scan for some reason, the Symantec Endpoint
Protection Small Business Edition client tries to perform the scan for a specific
time interval. If the client cannot start the scan within the time interval, it does
not run the scan.
If the user who defined a scan is not logged in, the client software runs the scan
anyway. You can specify that the client does not run the scan if the user is logged
off.
You can click Help for more information about the options that are used in this
procedure.
