Description
Supported on Windows computers that run Symantec Endpoint Protection version 11.x.
SONAR is not supported on any computers that run version 11.x.
TruScan proactive threat scans provide protection to legacy clients against zero-day
attacks. TruScan proactive threat scans determine if an application or a process exhibits
characteristics of known threats. These scans detect Trojan horses, worms, keyloggers,
adware and spyware, and the applications that are used for malicious purposes.
Unlike SONAR, which runs in real time, TruScan proactive threat scans run on a set
frequency.
Auto-Protect scans files as well as certain types of email and email attachments.
By default, all types of Auto-Protect are enabled. If your client computers run
other email security products, such as Symantec Mail Security, you might not
need to enable Auto-Protect for email.
Mac clients do not support Auto-Protect scans of email.
