USING ON-BOARD APPLICATIONS
Your administrator determines the on-board applications that are installed on your device.
Scanning my device for malware
If enabled by your System Administrator, the IronKey Malware Scanner is a self-cleaning technology that
detects and removes malware that gets on your device from an infected file or computer. Powered by the
McAfee
®
Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware signature database, and constantly updated to combat the latest
malware threats, the scanner first checks for the latest updates, then scans your device, and reports and cleans
any malware that is found.
Some things to know about scanning your device:
• The scanner runs automatically when you unlock your device.
• It scans any running system processes and all onboard files (compressed and uncompressed).
• It reports and cleans any malware that it finds.
• The scanner will automatically update itself before each scan to protect you from the latest malware
threats.
• An update requires an Internet connection.
• Ensure a minimum of 135 MB of free space on the device to accommodate the downloaded mal-
ware signature files.
• Your first update may take a long time to download depending on your Internet connection.
• The date it was last updated is displayed onscreen.
• If the scanner becomes too far out of date, it will need to download a large file to bring it back
up-to-date.
Editing the Applications List
The Applications List, located in the Control Panel, is the area where you can quickly launch on-board
applications and files. Items that appear in the list are shortcuts to the actual files. Managing the list items does
not alter the actual file.
1.
Unlock your device. The Control Panel will appear with the Applications List selected by default.
2.
If the Control Panel is already open, click the
Applications
button on the menu bar to view the Appli-
cations List. Do one of the following:
•
To add a file or application shortcut
—Drag a file from the desktop to the Applications List area to
add it to the list. You can also right-click the Applications List area and click
Add Application
.
•
To rename or delete list items
—Right-click the application or file and choose the action from the
menu.
•
To sort or change the way icons appear in the list
—Right-click anywhere in the Application list and
choose,
Large icons
,
List
, or
Tile
, or
Sort Alphabetically
.
Some things to know about the Applications List:
• You can add any file to the list, including documents, images, and batch files.
• For items that are not applications, the operating system opens the item with the default program
associated with that file type.
• Items that are Windows executables will be hidden from view on the Mac. Similarly, Mac application
files will be hidden from view on Windows computers.
Restoring on-board applications
You can restore on-board applications installed by the IronKey Enterprise Management System if they are ever
erased or become corrupt (Windows only).
