Using VirusScan Mobile
With VirusScan Mobile, you can scan files and messages, update your detection
definitions, and schedule tasks to run automatically. You can also manage infected files
in your quarantine area, and use the log file to get information about suspicious files
detected by VirusScan Mobile and troubleshoot problems.
A user performs two main operations with VirusScan Mobile:
„
Scanning messages when accessed or sent, and files at scheduled intervals,
manually at any time, or when accessed.
„
Updating VirusScan Mobile to use the latest detection definitions.
Both operations are accessed from the VirusScan Mobile main screen, and can be run
manually or scheduled to run automatically. Configuration settings allow you to control
all VirusScan Mobile features.
