Task
Use resumable scans
Allow all scans to skip trusted files
Description
For computers in your network that have large
volumes, scheduled scans can be configured as
resumable scans.
A scan duration option provides a specified period
to run a scan. If the scan does not complete by the
end of the specified duration, it resumes when
the next scheduled scan period occurs. The scan
resumes at the place where it stopped until the
entire volume is scanned. Typically you use the
scan duration option on servers.
Note:
Do not use a resumable scan if you suspect
that the computer is infected. You should perform
a full scan that runs until it scans the entire
computer. You should also not use a resumable
scan if a scan can complete before the specified
interval.
See Setting up scheduled scans that run on
Windows computers" on page 157.
Virus and spyware scans include an option called
Insight that skips trusted files. By default Insight
is enabled. You can change the level of trust for
the types of files that scans skip:
Symantec and Community Trusted
This level skips files that are trusted by
Symantec and the Symantec Community.
Symantec Trusted
This level skips only files that are trusted by
Symantec.
