Virus Scanning
Three types of virus scans are available:
• Real-time scan
The virus scan runs in the background, scanning every file that you read or write. This is the default type of
scanning. Your TeraStation may run slower if real-time scanning is enabled.
•
Scheduled scan
A scheduled scan is executed at specific regular intervals, such as every Tuesday at 3 a.m.
•
Manual scan
A manual scan runs once when initiated. Initiate a manual scan as described below.
1
From the left-side menu of the Trend Micro NAS Security settings page, choose Scan Options > Manual Scan .
2
Click Scan now . This starts the virus scan.
If the scan finds a virus, the user can be notified in two ways:
• The I34 virus alert message is normally shown on the LCD panel. Once the virus is removed from the quarantine
folder, the message is no longer displayed. If the antivirus software is configured to delete viruses from the
quarantine folder automatically, then the I34 virus alert message will not be displayed.
• If email notification is enabled in Settings, then the antivirus software notifies the user by email if a virus is found.
Enabling email notifications is recommended.
Depending on how many files are on your TeraStation, a virus scan may take several hours. Estimated scanning
times are shown below.
10,000 files: ~ 30 minutes
100,000 files: ~ 5 hours
1,000,000 files: ~ 50 hours
