Forcing all hosts to use real-time scanning
In this example, real-time scanning is configured so that users cannot disable it; this ensures that all hosts
stay protected in any circumstances.
1. Select Root on the Policy domains tab.
2. Go to the Settings tab and select the Real-time scanning page.
3. Select the Real-time scanning enabled check box.
4. Select Files with these extensions from the Files to scan: drop-down list.
5. Select the action to take when an infected file is found from the Custom action on infection drop-down
list.
Alternatively, select Decide action on infection automatically to let the product automatically decide
what action to take.
6. Check that the other settings on this page are suitable for your system, and modify them if necessary.
7. Click Disallow user changes to restrict users from disabling real-time scanning on their computers.
Now a closed lock symbol is displayed beside all settings on this page.
8.
Click to save and distribute the policy.
Excluding Microsoft Outlooks's .pst file from real-time scanning
If you have set real-time scanning to scan all files, you might want to exclude Microsoft Outlook’s
.PST
file
from the scanning in order not to slow down the system unnecessarily, as PST files are typically very large
and take a long time to scan.
The
.PST
file is excluded from scanning for the whole domain as follows:
1. Select Root on the Policy domains tab.
2. Go to the Settings tab and select the Real-time scanning page.
3. Select the Enable excluded extensions check box.
4. Enter the extension
PST
in the Excluded extensions text box.
Note that the extension should be added without the preceding
.
(dot).
5. If you want to restrict users from changing the settings, click the lock symbol beside the settings.
6.
Click to save and distribute the policy.
