3.6 On-board Antivirus
You must register your device with Kanguru Solutions in order to take advantage of the Defender’s on-
board antivirus features (see section
3.3.2 Activating On-board Antivirus Protection on page 12
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.
Note:
If the device is connected to a computer with internet access, updates for the latest virus
definitions are downloaded automatically after you login to KDM. 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.
