Scanning Modes

F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus is configured to provide you with complete
protection against malicious code attacks. If real-time scanning is
enabled, when the data on your device is accessed or modified, the
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus automatically scans it for malicious content.
Alternatively, you can schedule a custom scan to automatically run on a
specific date and time, or at periodic intervals. If you temporarily disable
the real-time scanning, we recommend scheduling a custom scan or
periodically run a manual scan. In addition, if you want to make sure there
are no infected files in your device, or if you do not want to use the
real-time scanning, you can manually scan all the data for viruses
whenever you want.
The following scanning modes are available in F-Secure Mobile
Anti-Virus:
›
Real-time scanning (recommended) - set the application to
automatically scan files for malicious content when they are
accessed or modified. In this mode, the application is running in
the background, and when a virus is found in a file, it is
immediately quarantined and added to the file list for further
processing.
IMPORTANT: If you disable the real-time scanning, you should
manually scan your device each time you transfer any new data to
your device.
›
Once per day/Once per week (Scheduled scanning) - set the
time for the scheduled scan to scan all your files daily or weekly,
at a pre-designated time. If no viruses are found, the application
shuts down automatically; if infected files are found, they are
displayed in the scan results.
›
Manual scanning - manually run a full scan on your device and
inserted memory card.
