  • 1.  Run a scan when a file is added to a folder

    Posted Feb 10, 2015 04:37 PM

    Hello,

    Is there a way to scan a folder when a new file is added? I was hoping for something built-in, but
    I'm also considering a batch file or PowerShell script that calls DoScan.exe when a file is added.

    Thank you.

    There is nothiing within SEP to trigger that. But as you've mentioned it would essentially need to be scripted.

    There is no process to trigger it when any new file added in folder.

    Not found any script to implement it.

    There are command prompt intro, if it can help to make a script then it great
