2.7 On-board Antivirus (Windows only)
Note:
This section does not apply to No-Comms edition devices
You must register your device with Kanguru Solutions in order to take advantage of the Defender 2000’s
on-board antivirus functions (see section 2.3.2
Activating On-board Antivirus Protection (Windows only)
on page 15).
Once your on-board antivirus has been activated, real-time virus scanning is automatically enabled
whenever you log into your device. All files copied to the Defender are scanned for viruses and malware.
Real-time scanning is enabled once all virus definitions have been downloaded.
Note:
Updates for the latest the virus definitions are downloaded automatically when the device is
connected to a computer with internet access. If you disconnect your Defender before the latest update
has finished downloading, the Defender will save your place and continue the download the next time it
is connected to a computer with internet access.
Virus definitions are stored in the ‘System’ folder on the secure partition. If these files are deleted, they
will be automatically re-downloaded. If the device is reset to the factory default, these files will be
deleted and will need to be re-downloaded.
Caution!
Do not store any data in the ‘System’ folder. Any data saved here that does not pertain to virus
definitions will be automatically deleted.
