Setting up scheduled scans that run on Mac computers

You configure scheduled scans as part of a Virus and Spyware Protection policy. The scan settings are different for Windows clients and for Mac clients.

See Managing scans on client computers.

See Customizing administrator-defined scans for clients that run on Mac computers.

You can save your scheduled scan settings as a template. You can use any scan that you save as a template as the basis for a different Virus and Spyware Protection policy. The scan templates can save you time when you configure new policies or scans. A scheduled scan template is included by default in the policy. The default scheduled scan scans all files and directories.

To configure a scheduled scan for Mac clients

  1. In the console, open a Virus and Spyware Protection policy.

  2. Under Mac Settings, click Administrator-defined Scans.

  3. On the Scans tab, under Scheduled Scans, click Add.

  4. In the Add Scheduled Scan dialog box, click Create a new scheduled scan, and then click OK.

  5. In the Add Scheduled Scan dialog box, on the Scan Details tab, type a name and a description for the scan.

  6. Under Scan drives and folders, specify the items to scan.

  7. Customize any settings, including scan priority.

  8. On the Schedule tab, under Scanning schedule, set the frequency and the time at which the scan should run.

  9. If you want to save this scan as a template, check Save a copy as a Scheduled Scan Template.

  10. Click OK.
