How to scan the server
You can scan the server for malware in real time, manually, or you can schedule a scan at set times.
Deciding which method to use depends on how powerful the server is and how high a level of protection you
want. Turning on all the virus and spyware scanning features can have a noticeable effort on the server's
speed if it is an older server.
Scan for malware
Real-time scanning protects the server by scanning all files when they are accessed locally or remotrly (over
network) and by blocking access to those files that contain
malware .
Real-time scanning works as follows:
1. A file is accessed locally or remotely over network
2. The file is immediately scanned for malware before access to the file is allowed.
3. If malware is found in the file, real-time scanning removes the malware automatically before it can cause
any harm.
Does real-time scanning affect the performance of my computer
Normally, you do not notice the scanning process because it takes a small amount of time and system
resources. The amount of time and system resources that real-time scanning takes depend on, for example,
the contents, location and type of the file.
Files that take a longer time to scan:
• Compressed files, such as .zip files.
• Files on removable drives such as CDs, DVDs, and portable USB drives.
